Marquetry

Julie Godrey is a studio furniture maker in Greenfield, Massachusetts. A graduate of the College of the Redwoods Fine Woodworking Program, Julie did an informal apprenticeship with master marquetarian Silas Kopf over a ten-year period while pursuing her own work.  She has exhibited her work at Pritam & Eames in East Hampton, New York, Sansar Gallery, in Bethesda, Maryland, and Highlight Gallery in Mendocino, California. 

Julie's most recent cabinet was acquired by Agnes Gund, president of the Museum of Modern Art, for her private collection. Julie wrote the section on marquetry in James Krenov’s book, With Wakened Hands, and serves as a contributor and expert consultant to Fine Woodworking magazine for marquetry and veneering questions.
