Engraving on Glass: A Hands-On Introduction to a Timeless Art

There’s something magical about transforming everyday glass into a keepsake with just a touch of lettering. Whether it’s a perfume bottle, a wine glass, or a piece of heirloom crystal, engraving turns the ordinary into something unforgettable.

In this 2-hour immersive workshop, you’ll learn the foundational techniques of glass engraving using a hand-held rotary tool. I’ll walk you through the basics: how to handle the engraver with control and confidence, select and switch out different burr sizes, and apply just the right amount of pressure and speed for clean, beautiful lines.

You’ll get to practice on both flat and curved surfaces to build your skills and explore your creative flow.

This class is perfect for beginners; no prior calligraphy or engraving experience is necessary. We’ll work with simple lettering and small illustrations to help you become comfortable with the tool and the surface.

Engraving tools will be provided for use…
