Course Description:
Participants learn about the various tools and materials used to create various types of ‘faux’ wood and marble. The course consists of explanations, demonstrations and some hands-on practice making example panels of wood and marble. The course focuses on techniques for constructing very believable examples in general, rather than producing exact imitations of specific woods and marbles. This approach
allows the student to go on to work creatively and independently, employing the techniques learned.
