Veneer 2024

This Wintersession I took a course which introduced the techniques of both hand and machine cut marquetry and parquetry* using traditional wood veneers. This page is an exploration of this work that brought me a great amount of happiness and personally enriching during the bitter Providence January. I find these techniques beautiful and timeless, and hope to continue working with veneer in the future.

*Marquetry is any veneerwork that is non-geometric, such as recreating images or objects, while Parquetry focuses on geometric form and pattern.
