Vinyl Marquetry I've tried to incorporate other materials into my work and plastic is one that isn't entirely alien to marquetry. 'Marquetry' by Pierre Raymond is a comprehensive book that charts the history, development, tools and techniques of the craft. […]

A copy of the Lottery application form has just arrived. All I can say is that I am mighty grateful that I did not have to fill it in. Dr Reeves has completed it through the Wellcome Trust educational charity […]
