    Help, please: Trying to Find Traditional, Long Term Educational Opportunity

    Thank you very much, sir, for responding to this thread. I was unaware that the bat signal made it out there!

    I would like to thank everyone for the replies so far. I really was struggling trying to find that Belgian School. Thank you to everyone who mentioned it. Likewise I must say I do appreciate the sentiment here. In many ways I do feel 'behind', but at that same time I must acknowledge that it is...

    Hello, I am twenty seven year old man from New England looking for more pureform educational opportunities here in the states and abroad. I have been improving my hand engraving with my own small home setup part time for the past two years, but still have not cobbled together any decent...
