You will learn this traditional inlay technique by making two marquetry coasters using real wood veneer, whilst acquiring sufficient knowledge to allow you to move on and produce your own marquetry projects.
Advisory Note:
The course is suitable for anyone over 13 years old who is able to grip a craft knife; children under 16, must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
