MARQUETRY FOR BEGINNERS

July 25 ~26, 2009

Marquetry for Beginners is a great opportunity to get an introduction to the rudimentary techniques needed to produce a Marquetry pattern. Marquetry is the art of producing pictures made from veneers or different colored woods and textures and can add a marvelously playful and artful element to your projects. The class will begin by making a cutting platform with a bird’s mouth and a discussion on saw frames and blades required for this intricate work. The Boulle Technique will be explored as well as bevel cutting and single piece bevel cutting.
