NEW CLASS! Intro to Double-Bevel Marquetry

Part 1: Saturday, September 6, 10 AM - 2 PM

Part 2: Sunday, September 7, 10 AM - 2 PM

Join master craftsman and book author, Albert Kleine, for this introductory course in marquetry, the practice of inlaying wood veneers to create images. It emphasizes traditional double-bevel methods using only hand tools. The first session covers theory and process, including geometry, tools, and sawing technique. By the end, you’ll be able to inlay veneer into a backer – foundational for marquetry. In the second session, you’ll apply your skills to create a simple leaf design. Advanced techniques, such as layering, grain orientation, sand-shading, and managing oxidation and shrinkage, will also be discussed to enhance your marquetry skills. This course is beginner-friendly, equipping you with essential techniques for more complex projects. Some woodworking experience is helpful but not required; all skill levels are welcome!
