If you’ve wanted to learn line & berry inlay here’s a great opportunity. In this
six-day class you’ll learn all the tricks and techniques to creating beautiful

to create interesting patterns such as vines, pinwheels, and tulips. The vines
terminate with contrasting berries and the entire design is bordered with
herringbone inlay.
