Sarah Marriage
Tambour Time

In this workshop, we will explore the basic principles at play behind one of woodworking’s most magical techniques: the tambour door. We will begin with a discussion of the history of tambours and a variety of techniques for creating them. Students will use a classic canvas-backing technique to create their own tambour panel. We will also build small, simple cabinets with all the necessary tracks, escape routes, and other details to bring our tambours to life. All levels.
