'''Lath art''' is a form of woodworking folk art for making rustic pictures out of strips out of old "lath" from "plaster and lath" walls.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Welcome to www.LathArt.com |url=http://www.lathart.com/ |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=www.lathart.com}}</ref> Today it is commonly made from lattice, lumber stickers and weathered lobster traps. Beach scenes and rural scenes are the most popular themes.
==Techniques== 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.
