About
It is said that when you acquire engraving from Scott Pilkington, you are not getting simple scroll pattern thrown on the metal surface. You are getting a flowing design that originates and flows in the essence of the piece that it adorns in a manner that pleases the eyes and soothes the soul. It looks almost as if it grew on the piece. Whether it is scroll originating from lines and patterns in an organic handle material like pearl, stag or wood, or enhancements of the lines and contours present in steel itself, or outline and shapes that originated with knife-maker, you will always sense that Scott’s scroll was what destiny had intended for that piece.
In the Design Desires course, Scott will work with you to uncover your design capacity. He will lead you through different shapes, on various objects with unique cultural or historical backgrounds. All possibilities of scroll, and artistic themes will be discussed. This will be a paper and pencil intensive session with primary interest in creating scroll designs that flow from the metal. You will learn to identify both distinct and subtle line flows that should be considered when assessing an object for scroll layout.
