Discover the art of Florentine inlay in the workshop in Florence

3 hours (approximately)

This is not a simple lesson: it is an authentic immersion in a centuries-old tradition. You will use genuine techniques, fretwork, cutting, shading, and take home an inlaid wood composition made by you, the result of your commitment and creativity. The atmosphere will be quiet and cosy, in a Florentine artisan workshop, far from the “mass” workshops. You will smell the scent of wood, you will see the design born from the raw piece, you will touch the texture of the inlaid wood. A personal experience, beautiful to live and to preserve.

What to expect

Club Joy, with the craftsman, welcomes you to discover the art of Florentine inlay, in the heart of Florence. You will learn the origins and techniques of this fine art: you will use the fretwork bow to cut wood, shade shade shades with warm sand and assemble a floral design as a unique puzzle. You will choose woods, shapes, joints; you will shape details, refine contours and nuances, guided step by step by the master. During the workshop you will learn about the history of inlay, understand how the different grains and colors of the wood dialogue with each other and discover the pleasure of creating a small masterpiece with your own hands. An intense and rewarding experience, perfect for those who love manual skills, art and tradition.
