Using Marquetry Techniques to Create Furniture Inlays with Steve Latta

"Painting in Wood" dates all the way back to ancient Egypt. In this class, we will scratch the surface of this ancient method of ornamentation. We'll look at tooling, veneers, substrates and adhesives and discuss various approaches to cutting and assembly an image. We'll apply these techniques to furniture inlays such as the ornamental ovals or paterae that adorn the top of Federal card table legs or are set into the middle of a table top or apron. We'll spend some time on geometric patterns or parquetry as well. The possibilities are endless and this great new class will get you started in the basics of marquetry as a design element to add to your repertoire of techniques. Sign up soon. Space will be limited. Tuition $245.00 plus materials
