The difference between a good project and an eye-popping project is often in the decorative details, and there are many ways to decorate wood. This class focuses on the use of filigree metal wire to create inlays and borders to embellish your work. These techniques are applicable to turned bowls, furniture legs, and beyond. Various design elements will be discussed to create individual patterns, and students will learn how to enhance designs with crushed stone, mother-of-pearl, or metal filing inlay. Proper application of the wire to the wood will be demonstrated and practiced by students. Several practice projects will be provided, and students can create and implement their own design and project. Necessary tools to inlay the wire will be constructed or adapted from other tools. This class would be perfect for any student wishing to expand their repertoire of decorative skills using simple techniques for striking results.
