Hello Masters and fellow engravers.. this is my first post here in this forum and for a long time I wanted to write a post to detach myself little by little from the facebook platform..
First of all I hope from the bottom of my heart that you all have an excellent health and be calm in these times of changes that are coming..
And this is exactly what I wanted to write about, I am concerned about the future of this beautiful art of engraving I am practically young in this world of engraving, I love it and I feel that I have found the profession of my life... and that is why I have some fears and insecurities about the future that awaits us...
I would like and it would help to know the opinion of the Master engravers or anyone who has a clear vision about what is happening or will happen in the future with our beautiful profession...
I send a cordial greeting to all .
Jesus Serrato.

Hand engraving in general is enjoying a renaissance and more people than engraver are learning the art. As for printmaking I don't know. That's a good question and folks like James Ehlers might have a better take on the state of that section of the engraving arts.

Greetings and welcome to the Cafe!

you mentioned the word, "profession". if you mean that, in addition to al lthe disciplines engraving requires, developing a sound business plan will be important. few succwde in any business when time is given away.
