Today’s tip is probably the most important I’ve ever shared 🚨when you can, TAKE A CLASS! In September I took a Basic Jewelry Engraving course with
@master_engraver at
@grstools and it was absolutely incredible. I had never engraved in my life and after a week long class I now possess the skills to continue on my journey! I created an IGTV that shows my experience in Emporia, Kansas with
@piecesofstarrjewelry @thebenchmarkcollection &
@emilymarquisdesigns huge thank you to them for being supportive and silly and amazing. In the first Monday - Friday progress collage I showed my work and in the second it is the work of Jal of
@thebenchmarkcollection she was also new to engraving! The engraving of the 100k is the last thing I engraved before I left Kansas and while I am only a beginner, it's amazing what I was able to achieve within 5 days! Sam Alfano is a phenomenal teacher and I'm so lucky to have been taught by him! As for GRS, WOW... the staff and facility is amazing and I would 100% go back for another class. They are listed on my "WHERE TO TAKE CLASSES" page (go check em' out!) I know how hard it can be to do a class like this, both financially and schedule-wise. My husband took a week of vacation for me to be able to do this! WORTH IT! Go check out the IGTV and would love to hear everyone's favorite class they ever took! Connecting members of our community to places they can learn is one of my goals!
