In this hands-on class, students will explore the intricate art of marquetry, where wood veneer of various colors is skillfully cut and assembled to form detailed images. Through a combination of demonstrations and practical exercises, students will learn the double-bevel cutting method, sand shading, and finishing techniques. By the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of the tools, materials, and processes involved in marquetry, and will create their own beautiful marquetry panel. No prior woodworking experience needed.

This in-person class meets at MassArt.
