WORKSHOP DETAILS & COSTS   

 

NOT A WEEKEND 'CRAFT' CLASS

This program began in May, 2001, with almost 600 people, from all over creation, so far, having come to learn the amazing and lucrative skill.  All classes are in a local hotel conference room.  

Total privacy for the class.

This amazing, greatly detailed class teaches you how to create a business around your hand-engraving.  Some make it a productive part-time activity, using it only when they want, or have time to personalize their own gifts for friends and family. Others are more serious about structuring a small part-time business, aggressively promoting their skill.  Then, there are the retired, and near-retired who want and need to develop a steady and reliable stream of extra income.  

​

Class is Wednesday evening orientation from 5:30 - 9:00 p.m., then 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  Alphabets, practice sheet pdf, and other materials are emailed the day you enroll and pay in full.  You should enroll as long as possible before the Workshop to practice the letters in the Student Packet. EARLIER IF POSSIBLE to be sure you get ONE OF 8 SEATS!  You'll get thorough instructions with video support on making all the letters during the class.

Various projects will teach you layout and how to get the project done and

ready for the customer.

​

FULL TIME OR PART TIME....YOUR CHOICE

So....you can take what you learn, and polish it to provide an amazing full-time income if that's your interest and goal.  One hundred to two hundred dollars per hour is routine for most of us who do small jobs for sizable fees that produce income in that range....and even more sometimes.  For example....personalizing the back of a man's wrist watch that you might charge $50. for 10 minutes of engraving. I charge more, but you'll learn how to gauge your pricing for the items you're most likely to do for the public.

​

INVESTMENT CAN COME BACK QUICKLY

When you are deciding whether or not it is worth the investment for the Workshop and equipment, know that those benefit greatly who apply what they learn both from the engraving standpoint AND the marketing ideas discussed in every class. Many get their entire investment back within a year.  

Some much, much sooner!

​

WHAT COMES TO YOU FOR ENGRAVING

A major part of engravers' income is from individuals who bring wine, spirits, and fragrance bottles, knives, guns, and crystal.  A long list of other items for personalization may come to you over time.  Jewelry stores, laser engravers, and trophy shops CANNOT engrave many items that freehand engravers can.  You'll have a highly marketable skill and NO competition from jewelry stores and mall engravers.  Learn how to make it all work and how to earn as you've never earned before for a skill you never dreamed of having!

I've tested it thoroughly, both in my Studio environment and at in-store events.  The new system is light, quiet, takes far less space to set up and use.  This is a huge advance forward in the equipment package....at a FRACTION of the PREVIOUS equipment cost in all my previous years of teaching!
