NO ART TALENT NEEDED!Of course, it's always helpful if you have a little bit of art talent to help you in your creative business if that is a direction you are heading into for building a side or main income. That said, engraving glass is actually a technical art that anyone with two hands and a little specialized training and a few tools can do. Even a teenager can pick up this practice and produce incredible pieces of art without having a stitch of artistic skill. Most people are doubtful about this claim when first looking at glass engraving as an endeavor. Considering the incredible results of the work, it is even more difficult to convince others that you're not a master artist of some kind and a prodigy of our times when you show them your work. In fact, with the techniques taught in this book, you learn not only how to create fantastic engravings, but you also are shown the secrets to present the finished works that make them stand out like a spotlight in a dark moonless night. Presentation is everything. We even inform you how to ship your engravings and keep them from being broken even under the worst handling of your shipping boxes. This is a must if you sell your work to people that do not pick them up in person. We provide you with a ton of information on acquiring different supplies so you can keep your cost to an absolute minimum. The real secret behind not needing to be an artist is in learning about using patterns and in also learning how to create your own patterns to work with. Considering that we now have computers, printers, and the Internet to work with, the advantages to doing engraving in this time is far advanced over times past. When I started engraving glass, it was twenty years before any of this technology was available and I grew my engraving business into a side occupation that gave me experience in the art world that could not be compared with today considering we didn't even have cell phones where we could share our work instantly with friends and family. There is absolutely no limit on the genre of art that can be produced in engraved glass pieces now. So, even if thousands of people started engraving glass all at the same time, there would still be enough room for thousands more to join in and learn how to do this incredible craft. It is a very old art that is becoming new again in today's world. Just take a look around, do you see glass anywhere near you? The opportunities are endless in this learned skill. |
