Jacqueline Jimmink, Zavattarello, Italy.
I began my career as an engraver in 1988 and since then I have become specialised
in engraving and decorating metallic objects.
I engrave various sorts of metallic object by hand, ranging from steel, bronze,
copper, silver and gold to titanium in my workshop, using burins, hammers and
chisels.
There are various types of engraving:
- Flat engraving, manufactured with the help of burins, used for example for
the refined hunting scenes on hunting guns.
- Relief engraving , the background is hollowed out using a hammer and chisel,
and then glazed with punches.
- Gold inlay, for example in steel etc.
