Courtesy of Burghley House\, Lincolnshire.\nThe Wonder of Wood: Decorative Inlay and Marquetry in Europe and America\, 1600–1900\nA Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library and Philadelphia Museum of Art Conference \nApril 26–28\, 2022 \nThe Wonder of Wood is a unique collaborative conference that will explore the history and artistry of inlay and marquetry within America and Europe. In both techniques\, artisans apply small pieces of different species of wood to create pictures or patterns on furniture. The basic concept has a long and illustrious past. “The woodworker’s desire to decorate wooden objects\,” noted a famed marqueter\, “is as old as man’s desire to work with wood.” Inlay and marquetry traditions existed in ancient Egypt\, Greece\, and Rome\, were revived during the Renaissance (as seen in the glorious Gubbio studiolo at the Metropolitan Museum of Art)\, and have flourished ever since. Over the centuries\, the complexity of the ornament has varied enormously\, from simple bands of light and dark stringing to outline the drawers of a plain desk of the 1790s to breathtaking trompe l’oeil imagery on Dutch and French cabinets a century earlier. By focusing on the years from 1600 to 1900\, The Wonder of Wood will consider an especially rich period in European and American furniture history during which craftsmen produced many of the grandest inlaid objects ever made. \nThis conference brings together 24 exceptional scholars—a creative mix of curators\, academics\, conservators\, artists\, and craftsmen drawn from museums and private practice in America and abroad—resulting in an unparalleled roster of conference speakers\, including two of the globe’s finest marqueters\, Silas Kopf and Yannick Chastang. Never before has such a talented team come together in the United States to share their collective expertise on this topic with the public. \nA comprehensive\, beautifully illustrated volume\, edited by  Brock Jobe\, Professor Emeritus at Winterthur; Alexandra Kirtley\, the Montgomery-Garvan Curator of American Decorative Arts at the Philadelphia Museum of Art; and Steve Latta\,  craftsman\, teacher\, and historian of decorative inlay\, will provide the lasting record of this ground-breaking conference.  \n$375; $300 for members of Winterthur or the PMA; $250 Access to Asynchronous Virtual Conference Content; $200 Access to Asynchronous Virtual Conference Content for members of Winterthur or the PMA; $225 for nonprofit employees. Scholarships are available. \nAll presentations will be recorded and made available two weeks after the conference for access by conference registrants for one month. \nSpace is limited. Register by April 19 to attend in person! \nPlease follow each institution’s Covid-19 guidelines. Please check their websites for the latest information:  \n\n	Winterthur Covid-19 Information\n	Philadelphia Museum of Art Covid-19 Information\n\nWinterthur reserves the right to cancel the conference. Should Winterthur cancel\, participants will be issued a full refund. Furniture Up Close participants who cancel by April 6\, regardless of reason\, will be issued a full refund minus a $50 handling fee. No refunds will be issued after April 6. \nHands-on Inlay Workshop\, April 29 and 30\nThe conference will be followed by a two-day\, hands-on workshop that will take place in the Furniture Conservation Lab at Winterthur and will be taught by Steve Latta. Due to space and equipment constraints\, the workshop will be limited to six participants. This workshop is supported by the Wooden Artifacts Group (WAG) of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC). Preference will be given to applicants who attend the Marquetry and Inlay Conference or to those who are currently working in the field of furniture conservation or are interested in pursuing a career in furniture conservation and would like to enhance their woodworking skills to that end. The workshop will allow participants to work with materials\, tools\, and techniques demonstrated in the conference and produce a finished sample incorporating inlay methods. Materials and tools will be provided. \nApply by February 1\, 2022. \n  \nSee the event program for presentation and workshop descriptions. \n  \nSchedule of Events\nTuesday\, April 26\, 2022\nWinterthur Museum\, Copeland Lecture Hall \n\n\n\n8:00–8:45 am\n\nCoffee and registration\n\n\n8:45–9:30 am \n\n\nWelcome and introduction\nChris Strand\, Charles F.
