Ron Smith and Diane Scalese call it Flare & Bright Cut engraving. The result is incredible three-dimensional beauty with a minimum of strategic cuts. It’s about freshness and efficiency. It’s rewarding to engrave because it lets you transform metal into sculpted designs in less time than you ever thought possible. Clients and collectors love the artistic boldness and the creative difference of this style.
In contrast to techniques that use smaller lines and dots, this Flare & Bright Cut Engraving uses fewer graver cuts that are wider, deeper and specially shaped. This creates dramatic engraved contours that are naturally sculpted and elegant. With this style, the engraver gains a valuable way to engrave a wide variety of metals in a distinctive, beautiful, and efficient manner.
This course provides a technical bridge for existing bright cut, western, and silver engravers to this bold style of engraving on steel. It will also teach experienced steel engravers a truly powerful engraving technique. All engravers will be amazed at how quickly they can cover an area with this Flare & Bright Cut style and how much they enjoy it.
