Lath art
View on Wikipedia | This article needs more citations. (February 2013) |
Lath art is a form of woodworking folk art for making rustic pictures out of strips of old "lath" from "plaster and lath" walls.[1] Today it is commonly made from lattice, lumber stickers and weathered lobster traps. Beach scenes and rural scenes are the most popular themes.
Techniques
[edit]Lath art has a lot in common with marquetry and intarsia. They are all woodworking hobbies to make pictures out of sections of wood, but marquetry and intarsia use the wood grain as a design element, and lath art uses the direction of the lath stick and the colors of the stains as a design element.
