I am just back from a Glass Engraver's Guild day on italic lettering with John Nash. Extremely invigorating and eye-opening. I begin to know what to look for in letterforms. We did exercises (like this one) all day and very relaxing and good fun it was too. I think one-day events are well worth doing as there is a lot of motivation in the room and people come to get and give ideas. So far, this blog has talked quite little about engraving -- I'm treading water at the moment. I was getting on better when I was less well informed. Lost my innocence now and not replaced it with expertise.
