French Straw Marquetry Demo with Dr Inke Falkner

Event

Join Inke Falkner for a live demonstration of French straw marquetry, a traditional craft that transforms rye straw into intricate patterned designs.

Inke will prepare the straw from start to finish; visitors are welcome to watch, ask questions, and chat about the process as she creates. Experience the process of transformation as a stalk of rye becomes a decorative piece of art.

You can view Dr Inke Falkner's work in her exhibition Round and Round at Canberra Museum + Gallery.
