ACTIVITIES
We have an annual Group competition to exhibit our work. The winners of which go on to represent us in intergroup competitions with Harrow, Chelmsford and Redbridge Groups.
To advertise the craft of marquetry we attend local craft fairs and fetes.
Those members who join the Marquetry Society enter their work at the Annual National Exhibition which is the highlight of the year.

THE GROUP
The St Albans Marquetry Group meet every week from the beginning of September to the end of June to teach and continue practicing the art and craft of marquetry.
There is a lot of interaction between members who, after learning the accepted methods, share their own ideas to produce a desired effect. On the left you see an inter-group meeting at St. Albans with a few members from other marquetry groups.

DETAILS OF MEETINGS
We meet at The Greenwood Park Leisure Centre, Tippendell Lane, Chiswell Green, St Albans, on Wednesday from 7pm to 9pm.
There is an ample car park and for members who have no transport, we arrange a lift where possible.
