The technique of straw marquetry dates back to the 17th century. Considered to be the poor relation of wood marquetry, it was used as much by marquetry makers as by clerics, sailors and convicts, giving rise to a very rich craft. The straw used is rye straw, once considered ‘the gold of the poor’: with its silky touch and shimmering reflections, it has the advantage of being abundant, resistant and waterproof. Learn this technique with visual artist Letizia Romanini, who is also currently exhibiting at Beyond the Frame.
