Last week's Advanced Class engraving project at GRS. I had a great group of students and it was a great way to end to year 17 of teaching there.

Beautiful design and work and a lot of very lucky students over those 17 years.

An excellent design/engraving project for students Sam, which also covers many techniques, needless to say expertly done!

most teachers "can't do it". most that "can do it", can't teach. sam, you're an endangered species. you not only can do it, you can teach it as well ! a rare quality these days. thanks for showing, and thanks for all you have done for the engraving community.

Well, here I am, standing barefoot. Just knocked my socks off with that close-up of the engraving and sculpting. Bravo!

 

[Roger Bleile]

Bold, yet elegant. As I have said before, I like the way you leave the planishing marks in your relief. It shows the hand in the work. Well done!

Amazing work Sam! That sets the bar pretty high. I feel so lucky that I was able to spend some time learning from you.
