Penwork Shaker Tray with Mary Emery Lacoursiere

Penwork decoration has been used since the 18th century on furniture, frames, and boxes, often to create the illusion of inlaid ivory. Students will create their design on a Bentwood Shaker Tray created for this workshop by Eric Pintar.

A selection of designs are provided giving each student the ability to customize the design creating a unique finished piece. Students will learn how to create and adapt a design, transfer it to the box, prep the surface, use drawing tools, and finishing.
