Marquetry: Painting with Wood

Saturday, August 22, 10 am – 2 pm
Ages: 16 and older
FREE, but limited seating
Led by members of the Rocky Mountain Marquetry Guild, this workshop will introduce you to the art, practice, and process of creating pictures using the media of very thin wood veneer. This “painting with wood”, or marquetry, is a century’s old decorative technique where domestic and exotic woods are cut and assembled much like a picture puzzle allowing the natural colors, textures, and grain patterns to define subject matter. Using updated materials and hand tools make it easily accessible for creating. No prior woodworking or tool experience is necessary.
