Wood Marquetry
This course aims to facilitate the understanding and implementation of the processes involved in veneering, with a focus on parquetry and inlay. Geometric designs found in Islamic architecture and furniture are employed. There are three stages to this course: Designing, Making and Finishing. An introductory presentation on the history, methods and materials of wood inlay and its application in interiors and furniture is followed by an exploration of the variety of wood veneers that are available today. Students are guided through the three stages by demonstrations and with one to one teaching.
