2008
In the fall of 2008, accomplished engravers will have an extraordinary opportunity to study under two of the finest masters in the world: Alain Lovenberg and Philippe Grifnée of Belgium. These Master Engravers will instruct the Fourth Annual GRS Grand Masters Program in Emporia, Kansas.
Lovenberg and Grifnée will each present a 5-day engraving course revealing the exceptional techniques they have developed through decades of renowned and highly-valued work. These two courses will be held on successive weeks with just 12 seats available per course. Attendees may apply for either program, or both.
The GRS Grand Masters Program is dedicated to the art of engraving. It is open to a wide variety of engraving methods including hand gravers, chasing hammers, and power-assisted handpieces. Every bench is equipped with GRS tools including a GraverMach and stereo microscope, but attendees may bring other gravers, hammers and power tools.
