This year I took part in the second year of the two-year Gilroy Roberts Art of Engraving fellowship. The program was taught by Laura Stocklin, a participant in one of the yearly years of the program.

Last year, you may remember, I learned engraving and modeling in plaster. This year we hand engraved a steel die, as well as making the gravers for that purpose.

At the end of the week we also got to strike pewter examples of our designs.

One example of each die made (five participants) struck in pewter, with a uniform reverse of the ANA lamp of knowledge and Summer Seminar legend is available for $20. postpaid from the group (and may soon be on the ANA Website too).
