Marc Tschida
About this instructor
Marc Tschida is a lifelong fan of jigsaw puzzles. In 2012, he put his passion for assembling puzzles into creating them. A self-taught puzzle maker, he primarily utilizes scroll saws but will occasionally incorporate laser cutters and very, very occasionally a coping saw to cut a variety of intricate wooden jigsaw puzzles. What started as a hobby of cutting Indiana-themed gift puzzles quickly became a profession cutting puzzles full-time under the moniker Press Puzzles. Though a self-taught woodworker, he has presented workshops on puzzle-making across the state of Indiana, in New York, Massachusetts, and Alaska. His puzzles are included in the Slocum Puzzle Collection at the Indiana University Lilly Library in Bloomington, Indiana, and at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. Marc is an active member of the Association of Game and Puzzles International and a member owner of an artist gallery in Nashville, Indiana.
