What to expect

Club Joy and its resident artisan welcome you to discover the art of Florentine inlay, right in the heart of Florence. You will learn the origins and techniques of this refined craft: using a scroll saw to cut the wood, shading the colors with hot sand, and assembling a floral design like a unique puzzle.

Guided step-by-step by the master artisan, you will choose your woods, shapes, and joints, giving form to every detail while refining contours and shades. During the workshop, you will explore the history of wood inlay, understand how different wood grains and tones interact, and discover the joy of creating a small masterpiece with your own hands. An immersive and rewarding experience, perfect for those who love craftsmanship, art, and tradition.
