About me

I’m Giulio, and I make marquetry in a stone workshop by the sea in southern Italy.

Each picture is cut from thin sheets of veneer with a fretsaw and glued up by hand. I film my work every week, sell my patterns and teach a beginner course.

Learn marquetry was clear and easy to follow. I used what I learned the same week.
