About this Workshop

Learn to embellish your work with all sorts of inlay, including wood, silver, brass, mother-of-pearl, gemstones, shell, and pigmented resins. Students will learn how to create fine details and patterns that can take their work to the next level. Students will create templates and cut perfectly inlaid shapes out of wood veneer, metal, shell, stone, and more. Scott will start with traditional techniques and go from there and beyond. “You bring it, we inlay it!” Emphasis will be on experimentation and exploring various methods to personalize your work with inlay. Scott will also cover working with UV-cure and casting resins, iridescent pigments, micas, and metal powders for stunning mosaic inlays. These techniques can be used to accent boxes, turnings, and tables or simply be hung on the wall as a work of art. Students will go home with a “zillion” samples and the knowledge of how to make even more. Scott is an enthusiastic and high-energy craftsman and a great teacher, so be prepared to push your limits!
