About this event

Our two-day Modern Marquetry course takes your skills to the next level, guiding you through the entire process of crafting a unique Modern Marquetry artwork. You'll start by building your own Modern Marquetry block, which becomes the foundation for your final masterpiece.

Throughout the course, you’ll master a variety of tools, including handheld routers, planer/thicknessers, impact drivers, sanders, and clamps for complex glue-ups. Day two introduces advanced techniques with our FB10 band saw, enabling precise slicing of your Marquetry block. From shaping and bonding slices to creating an organic design on a plywood base, you’ll see your vision come to life.

After refining your surface with a drum sander to ensure a smooth finish, you'll shape and perfect the edges using our linisher and optional trim router. A final sanding and an oil finish will enhance the grain and colors, making your work truly shine.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a custom piece ready to display, with the option to add a wall bracket for effortless showcasing. Celebrate your creativity with a masterpiece that's uniquely yours!

Modern Marquetry Courses Cornwall

Our main objective for these courses is to educate our community about sustainability and circularity in our field of work. During these courses we will demonstrate how we, as a business, are actively diverting ‘waste stream materials’ and ‘offcuts’ from landfill or other ways of disposal. You will be taught how these materials still have a huge amount of value and can be given a second life. Re-use & Repurpose!
