Marquetry Inspired by the Alhambra
Inspired by the intricate geometry of the Alhambra, this course explores how repeating patterns and geometric forms can be translated into the traditional craft of wood parquetry. Participants will learn how to transform these patterns into a carefully constructed wooden composition.
Throughout the course, participants will learn the complete process of creating a parquetry piece, from selecting and preparing the wood to developing the design, accurately cutting and assembling the individual elements, and applying the final finish. Through hands-on making, they will develop an understanding of precision, pattern, proportion, and craftsmanship.
By the end of the course, each participant will have completed their own parquetry piece and gained the fundamental skills, knowledge, and confidence to continue exploring and developing their practice independently.
