We are pleased to announce
that David Marks, Star of the DIY network TV show "Woodworks" will
be the speaker for our annual Fall Seminar. This is truly a unique opportunity
for our members. David is in great demand and we are lucky to have him for an
entire weekend seminar.
David's studio furniture and sculpture is featured at many galleries, collections
and exhibitions and can be viewed on his web site, www.djmarks.com . His many
projects built during seven seasons of the TV show Woodworks can be viewed at
www.djmarks.com/woodworks.asp.
David will be demonstrating the techniques of bandsawn veneer, double bevel
marquetry with a scroll saw, and router template inlay as he makes a curved
lid for a small chest. Utilizing a vacuum press, David will teach you his technique
for gluing up the curved panel of the lid.
In addition, on Friday evening, David will be giving a demonstration of his
award winning gilding and patination process. The processes that David will
demonstrate can be applied to any surface that will accept paint. These include
wood, metal, paper, ceramics, glass, even plastics. You will learn about some
very creative and innovative techniques to enhance your work and increase your
marketability. David will gild with copper, silver, and Dutch metal leaf. In
addition to demonstrating the traditional oil size method of gilding, he will
also explore creative gilding techniques, such as the Japanese Notan method,
of balancing positive and negative spaces. David will introduce students to
the process of chemical patination. He will demonstrate various cold patina
processes that students will learn working safely with mild acids. These are
the same techniques that David uses on his award winning sculptures and vessels.
