I recently applied to this class and was accepted.It is the middle of April for 5 days at the Revere Academy in San Fransico. Does anyone have information on other classes located in the USA?

How exciting Dan! Congratulations, I hope you have a really great time! There are some TCP members in the Bay area. Maybe you all might find one another for a brief greeting.

Thanks for the good news!

That's great, Dan. I took that class last spring--it was terrific. I'm taking the engraving class and advanced zougan class that follow the one you are taking. Learning how to make the tools was worth the price of admission. If you or others hear of other zogan classes, I would like to know, as well.

I believe these are the only classes/workshops currently being taught on the Japanese process of damascene inlay. There are several craftsmen and women who practice it in their work through out the U.S. My experience is minimal and mostly self taught. I did attend a workshop taught by Bruce Clark in Tucson. Bruce has studied the technique of Damascene inlay for many years and has developed a style all his own. His work was featured in a past edition of Association of Jewelry Manufacturers Magazine.
