Live Engraving at the MedStar Health Gala | Washington DC Engraver and Calligrapher
As a Washington DC engraver and calligrapher, I had the privilege of hand engraving pocket watches inside the VIP “Clockmaker’s Lounge” at the MedStar Health fundraising gala for distinguished guests. Many were amazed to watch their pieces engraved in real time — captivated by the craftsmanship, aristry, and struck by how meaningful the personalization made the experience.
Live engraving has the ability to transform a beautiful object into a lasting keepsake. This creates an engaging, meaningful, and elevated activation for guests.
I’m grateful to MedStar Health for inviting me to be part of such a special evening supporting the community.
