Learn how to create beautiful wood images using a technique called marquetry! Marquetry is a form of wood art that uses a variety of veneers cut out and glued together to create images and patterns.
On day 1, students will learn how to use an X-Acto knife to cut wood veneers and glue to join pieces together. We will practice cutting techniques and learn how to use wood grain and shades to create images that hold depth.
On day 2, students will be able to bring a photo or pick from provided templates and create their marquetry masterpiece. Finished images will be glued on to a 5x7 inch substrate.
Each student will receive a take-home marquetrate kit that will include an X-Acto knife with extra blades, self-healing mat to cut veneers on, sandpaper, and a small package of self-selected veneers. The kit is included in the cost of the class. Marquetry is a quiet activity that can be enjoying in a seated position. We encourage everyone of all abilities to attend this class.
The materials fee is $35 and is included in the admission cost.
