One Time Traditional Wood Venering Workshop

Before.JPG

What Is Wood Veneering?

The art of wood veneering is the practice of bringing out the beauty of the wood grain. Today, wood veneer is often used to cover poor-quality material, making it appear as solid wood. However, there is much more to wood veneering. It is a centuries-old craft that consistently highlights the natural beauty of wood grain. Veneering allows for the creation of intricate patterns that cannot be achieved with solid wood, either due to structural limitations or because the thickness of solid wood does not permit such designs..

What Will I Do During the Workshop?

Judith is a wonderful teacher! I had the privilege of learning from her this morning the art of Straw Marquetry. Judith patiently taught us the history, tools and materials of this rare artisian craft. I felt that this was a special experience and I look forward to learning more.
