Marquetry in the Technique of André-Charles Boulle

Course details

After an introduction to the Boulle fret-saw technique, each student will craft various veneer pictures based on a template or their own design. This produces multiple copies (positive and negative) of the chosen motif in the same run. Students can use a scroll saw or a coping saw and different veneers ore metal as they wish.
André-Charles Boulle, cabinetmaker to the French royal manufactory, perfected the art of marquetry in the 17th century. Because of the use of precious materials, even the offcuts produced during manufacture were utilised as negatives – made possible by the introduction of the precursor to the coping saw blade.
