THE TEFAF 2013 | TEFAF MAASTRICHT | The European Fine Art Fair

Patrick Damiaens
Ornamental Woodcarver

The European Fine Art Fair, 
The TEFAF 2013











In this blog item we visit the TEFAF 2013 in Maastricht (Netherlands), over the years TEFAF has come to be recognized as the world's leading art and antiques fair. 

I should feeling really lucky that I only live 20 minutes from Maastricht and The TEFAF .










It is for the ornamental Woodcarver of great importance to have a lot of documentation, drawings and pictures , this source of inspiration can be consulted later by a possible restoration or reconstruction of ornaments.


In the creation and drawing of new ornaments and compositions  a comprehensive library of books and pictures is really necessary, this information gives the ornamental Woodcarver a greater freedom in drawing and design
A lot of  information (pictures) also contributes to the ornamental carver  a better understanding  of  the forms and characters that can be consult. And this together with a large amount of plaster casts and wooden examples you're already well on your way.
