Intarsia is a woodworking technique that uses varied shapes, sizes, and species of wood fitted together to create a mosaic-like picture with an illusion of depth.
The pictures are examples of Intarsia made at the Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula (WOSP) workshop.
If you would like to learn the techniques with a group of friendly wood workers then find out more at the WOSP Open Day on Saturday 3rd February, 11.00am-3.00pm. Families welcome.
Intarsia is a form of wood inlaying that is similar to marquetry. The start of the practice dates before the seventh century. Recently John Hanley completed this lobster.
