Who is my instructor?
Dudley Withers is a craftsman who trained at Sir John Cass College specialising in Engraving and other decorative techniques including chasing. Having worked with Francis Cooper - a silversmith in the Arts and Crafts tradition for 6 years he returned to Sir John Cass College to teach engraving as a part time lecturer whilst running his own shop. There he maintained his interest in engraving doing work on commission with a bias towards jewellery but included selling antique silver and glass. He has now expanded his interests to include horology, particularly engraved clocks.
Dudley has recently started teaching again for the Hand Engravers Association.
