ARTISTIC MARQUETRY TECHNIQUES: ONLINE CLASS AVAILABLE
Guild member Rich Gady offers the class through craftsy.com, where classes cost $11 per month.

Following mentoring by renowned marquetarian Silas Kopf, Rich taught marquetry and woodworking for years at Red Rocks Community College in the Greater Denver Area. View samples of his extraordinary work in our gallery.

Pictured below:
An example of Rich’s work for which he is especially well known in the guild. 

Rich uses contrasting veneer to create marquetry with shadows on a window sill. It looks three-dimensional, but the entire piece hangs flat on a wall. 

FREE WORKSHOPS IN 2025 ARE IN THE PLANNING STAGE 
Workshops are open to anyone, including non-members wanting to try the craft. All skill levels may work with and learn from other members during an informal four-hour period. Tools and materials, including veneer, are available for beginners to borrow free of charge. Check after the first of the year for workshop offerings in 2025
