The ones doing this technique are the ones that are enjoying the decoration of surfaces. Both young and older, men and female. It's still a way of decorating Possible to see older artefacts at museums, archives, collections, but there's not a gathering organisational home for the special technique. Courses and workshops. Can be done with a face milling machine, but it differs from the expression and quality of the cut. The preceived value of the knowledge and craft can be an issue.

Primarily taught at courses and workshops. Some pick up the technique themselves from tutorials.
