About this Workshop

In this weeklong workshop, students will learn to combine marquetry with digital design and laser cutting to transform wood and other materials into intricate works of art. The class begins with the fundamentals of unboxing, calibrating, and safely using a laser. Students will then learn to create vector patterns in Inkscape and prepare them for cutting in LightBurn. As the week progresses, participants will explore complex, multi-piece marquetry, material selection, grain direction, and assembly. The class will also cover sand shading and techniques for working on oversized projects. By the end of the week students will leave with a deeper understanding of marquetry, the skills to troubleshoot laser settings, and the confidence to create their own pieces.
