Award-Winning Engraving Tutors

Engraving is a time-honored skill that is still in practice today. Its methods are varied and complex, and stretch back hundreds of years. Hand engraving was historically used as a printmaking method prior to our modern photographic methods. Engraving is still being used in modern printing, albeit using mechanical engraving. Engraving is also used decoratively, often by adding text to jewelry. Learning to engrave can be an incredibly interesting and rewarding study, whether your interest is as a hobbyist or as a professional. If you've been looking for a helping hand in your practice, Varsity Tutors can help connect you with an engraving tutor who can give you the support needed to reach your goals!

With so many uses for engraving, and with so many techniques, your private tutoring sessions can be tailored to match your specific interests. Here are just a few topics that could be covered in an engraving tutoring session:

• Hand engraving basics and methods
• Tools used in hand engraving, including how to create your own
• Designing your own engraving patterns
• Fine jewelry engraving
• Gunsmithing
• Laser Engraving

Private engraving tutoring sessions can have major advantages over trying to learn everything yourself. As with any tactile skill, there are certain bad habits that one might fall into unknowingly, and it's often more difficult to unlearn these habits than it is to learn the correct set to begin with. An experienced engraving tutor can guide you through these proper habits and save you a ton of time and frustration. Being able to ask questions and get the answers you need from a tutor with hands-on experience can also save you time and prevent the headache of trying to hunt down one answer in a sea of books and websites. Tutors can also provide college engraving tutoring for those looking for support in ongoing classes.
