Engraving Workshop at powerHouse Arena
Water and Main Streets, DUMBO, Brooklyn

Monday, September 24, 7–9pm

Join The Complete Engraver author Nancy Sharon Collins for a hands-on workshop investigating the history and etiquette of engraved social stationery. Emerse yourself in the almost forgotten world of vintage lettering styles, monograms, crests, seals, and calling cards.

Try your hand at engraving a letterform with centuries-old techniques, learn how to wield a graver or a burin, find inspiration in vintage printed specimens, and enjoy a glass of wine with the author.

The Complete Engraver will be available for sale and signing at the workshop.
