Maker's bio

I am a hand engraver using traditional techniques of "push engraving" with a graver, hammer and chisel, and power assist using GRS and Pulsegraver systems. I have studied in Florence Italy, USA, Luxembourg, Belgium and the UK. I have won numerous hand engraving awards over the years and compliment my commission work with teaching which I love.

Marta reviewed: Introduction to hand engraving

"I had such an amazing time learning from John. I 100% recommend this course to anyone interested in starting hand engraving. I now have the confidence to practice on my own and implement everything I learned onto rings and pendants for my jewellery business. "

Fran reviewed: Copperplate Engraving

"I spent a fantastic day learning hand engraving with John. Plentiful supply of tea and an absolute treasure trove of information. A true mastercraftsman who understands the critical theory and practice behind his craft. I wanted to engrave to produce prints (think 16th century Durer), but he also engraves beautiful jewellery and anything else you can think of. Amazing experience. "
