Beginning Marquetry with Phil Lowe

This new class with noted furniture maker and instructor Phil Lowe 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. We will create a small floral pattern that could be used to “dress up” a furniture piece at a later date. The Boulle Technique will be explored as well as bevel cutting and single piece bevel cutting.

Don’t miss this opportunity to work with one of this country’s master woodworkers. Sign up today- space is limited. Tuition: $255.00 (plus materials)
