Craft Course - Parquetry Patterns 1

students at work

Suitable for complete beginners.

Students will learn basic parquetry (geometric marquetry) techniques while cutting designs for either coasters, key fobs or a pen box. Designs covered include checkerboard and closed basket-weave. Finishing and polishing will be discussed, but it may be necessary for the items to be completed after the course - either by the student or tutor.

Topics Covered include:
