Engraving based designs
What exactly does that mean? Well, our working artist is primarily a hand engraver who designs and makes items from the point of view of hand engraving or carving, which is a related discipline. Lets look at this in a little bit more detail. While we are primarily hand engravers, but we do offer other forms of engraving services, our craftsman has studied the many applications of traditional engraving. Disciplines like Printing plates, coin making, wax seal making and others have their origins in hand engraving, even to this day hand engraving is still used for the printing plates for bank notes. Of course in this day and age, with the advances in technology all around us there are other options for generating these items. In some instances we use a blend of technology and hand craft to produce some of our pieces. For instance we use 3D printing to test the accuracy of some of our embossing tools before we make them in harder materials either acrylic or brass, a 3D printed embossing tool will last a while, but the pressures of embossing will quickly destroy it.
