An elaborate form of marquetry using inlays, especially as practiced in 15th-century Italy, such as inlaying of polished stones in an object, as the top of a ring, to form a pattern or design. Class size limited to four persons per class.
Stone Intarsia describes a method of cutting and fitting together small pieces of stone to create unique designs. The resulting creations may be simple or complex. In class, intarsia designs feature some type of center stone with a series of concentric bands of different material put together to create a single piece of work. The work is then polished on flat laps.
