This
photo is a little example of the 'biter bit'. It is of our
photographer Dave Walker who is normally hidden on the other side of
the camera and doesn't usually appear in any Redbridge photos, but we
have got him 'trapped' in this instance. Dave is seen in this photo
sitting at his marquetry table in the "back room" of his comfortable
and welcoming home. Dave is also our group secretary and I have to
say, he does a sterling job of the task.
Dave has recently
written an article for this web site encompassing the difficult
subject of mitres and stringers and borders.
Generally those
parts of the marquetry art are the subjects most practitioners of the
craft find most awkward (along with the varnishing side of marquetry)
but Dave, with his unique way of teaching marquetry, has made the
whole process seem very easy to comprehend. So it's a job well done
there Dave, thanks from all of us for your wonderfully informative
tutorial.
By the way, Dave
has won loads of awards for his marquetry pictures at the Marquetry
Society's National Exhibitions over the last several years. Excellent
work there Dave!. |

Along with this photo of Dave at his home, we will be introducing you
to even more of the Redbridge crew in a later edition of this site, so
just for the time being, as they say in the films, "that's all for now
folks!" (to quote a certain Mr B. Bunny).
Good news: Dave has his interview / biography available on this site
right now. Dave can be seen working away at his marquetry pictures
almost constantly, he certainly is a dedicated marquetry man. Dave has been a senior officer of the
Redbridge Marquetry group for many years and has some interesting stories to
relate of his marquetry exploits, so do have a read of Dave's article, it
is, as we said, "promised to be very interesting". |
