This weekend I engraved two days at the La Fermiere yogurt pop-up in Silver Lake which was wildly popular. On Thursday, I engraved 32 empty yogurt containers for content creators to promote the pop-up and the engraving activation. On Saturday, I engraved a full day and completed 180+ containers for the guests. 🤩
I freehand engraved all the words and flourishes on the ceramic containers, and completed each engraving in less than a minute. The moment I arrived on Saturday, there were a handful of people who showed up early for my engraving services. And throughout the day, customers told me they came to the pop-up mainly for my engravings. ☺️
