Photos from the Grand Master Seminars

I'm out here in Kansas having a serendiptious time with engravers from around the world. What treat to have some of the world's greatest engravers from Belgium, Italy, Austria and of course the US all in one place sharing the common love of the art.

There is much to tell about this weekend, including the annoucement of the Engraving Arts degree by Emporia State University and I will get it all recorded soon, but here are some photos from Friday nights fun gathering.

The thought of being there as a mere fly on the wall gives me goosebumps.

Fly on the wall, yep, I wish I was able to listen in all all the converstion across the two classrooms and the break area. It was like a three ring circus, not knowing where to turn as engravers were showing each other their work and discussing teqhniques to accomplish them. It was really a treat seeing a lot of people that you have only seen their work in magazines or books and here they were, right in front of you telling you how that they did what they do.

Requirements for Masters attendees

Thanks for doing all that photog work Scott. I wish I was a competent engraver so I could attend next year. What a hoot that would be, I'd even bring my Dobro with me.

I'll have to hang around Jim Small a lot more and soak it all in if I'm gonna be able to attend one of these things before they decide to stop doing them. I like Ron Smiths toolbox
