The Harrow Group has an active membership of people coming from a variety of backgrounds and from beginners to the most experienced marquetarians including male and female; young and old.

Group members frequently win top prizes at the National Society Annual Competitions.

Please visit our dedicated website at www.harrowmarquetrygroup.co.uk

We are a friendly group who meet every Tuesday afternoon (except for the month of August), between 2.30pm and 4.30pm  in the Carpenders Park Community Centre, Station Approach & Gibbs Couch, Watford, WD19 5EG.

The building is modern with free parking and very close access to the station.

As well as working afternoons, we also have visiting speakers, member’s talks and regular practical demonstrations for the benefit of membership.

Throughout the year, we attend various art and craft exhibitions in the area to display our work and to promote marquetry and our group

Visitors    are most welcome.

For those who enjoy it, teaching for beginners is started on a one to one basis. Instruction is provided by practical example and on an informal basis to best suit your progress.

Regular competitions are held in a range of progressive classes and awards are presented during social evenings.

Marquetry is a cheap, satisfying and very portable hobby which takes up little space. It is easy to take your work home after a meeting to continue with what you were doing or to try the new thing you just learnt. You can then bring it back next week and amaze your friends or discuss new ideas.

We have a very good selection of wood veneers and other materials - in fact most of the requisites needed for marquetry, which are available during meetings at very reasonable prices.
