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 pasted together to create images and patterns. Students will use an X-Acto knife to cut wood veneers and glue to join pieces together. Finished images will be glued on to a 1/4 inch substrate. Students can frame their images, or incorporate them into other wood projects. 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, 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. X-Acto knives have many different handle shapes to accommodate different types of grips. We encourage everyone of all abilities to attend this class.
The materials fee for this class is $50 and is included in the admission cost.
* We do require masking indoors, whatever your vaccination status *
