About
Nacre inlay, also known as mother-of-pearl inlay, is the decorative art of embedding thin pieces of iridescent nacre (the mollusc shell) into wood or other materials, creating beautiful patterns for furniture, musical instruments (such as guitars), jewellery, and decorative boxes. Artisans carve designs into the base material, shape the shell pieces, inlay them, and then polish and seal the surface for a durable, luxurious effect. During this class you'll learn how to work with delicate mother-of-pearl inlay and transform it into a beautiful brooch.
