We are often asked if we know of any marquetry courses that are available where
people can learn the basic techniques from an experienced tutor. So, we thought it's time to start a directory that we hope will grow into a valuable reference source for those wishing to attend marquetry courses both residential and non-residential, plus, for those who prefer to learn at home, we offer our instructional and tutorial DVD's. We also feature our National Exhibition DVD's on this page for those of you who would like to see examples of marquetry at its best. Do note that for Marquetry Society members we provide hands on tuition at our group locations for no extra cost other than the nominal attendance charge applicable to the group location selected. We can also provide no cost on screen real time tuition via Skype share screen to Independent Marquetry Society members who are not able to attend group meetings. Our quarterly magazine The Marquetarian regularly provides a wealth of tutorial articles to guide you through the techniques and latest methods of working in the modern world of marquetry. If you are not already a member of the Marquetry Society, but you feel that you would like to join our ever growing ranks of marquetry enthusiasts and become a member of the Marquetry Society (and take advantage of the facilities we have to offer), then nothing could be simpler. All you need to complete your application is your credit or debit card and ten minutes of your time. Your membership application and entry fee payment will be completed online via PayPal's secure server system and your Welcome Pack will be delivered to you via the normal postal system shortly after your membership application has completed. Here is a link to our application and payments pages: Online Application & Payments |
Here is a list of our current DVD's:
The 2014-15-16-17-18 and the latest 2019 International Exhibition DVDs are currently available in high level print quality from Peter White, price £10.00 including p&p (UK only). USA members, please contact USA rep Ernie Mills. Other countries please contact Peter for a price. For an example of the high quality of these discs here are a few screen captures from the popular 2014 DVD which features a scene setting introduction with some pleasant views of Markyate village and also acquaints you with the 2014 exhibition judges. You can choose from the Award Winner's Gallery, or the Selected Entries Gallery, or even the Ben Bedford Gallery. And - don't forget, there is also the International Photo Entries for you to view and enjoy as well. This DVD is a most worthy reference source of the highly successful 2014 International Marquetry Exhibition. See some sample photos from the DVD below:
All the award winning pictures follow on in class sequence. All the remaining exhibits, along with the class 10A International photos, are shown under a separate title. Complete catalogue information is included. The very latest DVD in our training series is titled "Artistic Considerations & Veneer Choice in Marquetry" and is intended to guide you through applying your own 'artist's eye' to the selection of a suitable subject for your latest and grandest marquetry project. This disc (and the accompanying booklets) also help you with choosing the best veneers for all aspects of your marquetry work, be it just a picture or an applied piece, or even door or wall panel! Our DVD "A Beginners Guide" is aimed at beginners new to the art of marquetry. This disc demonstrates the build of a marquetry kit picture from the opening of the box to the polishing of the completed picture prior to hanging it in pride of place on your living room wall. This is a 'must have' for those who have been tempted to try their hand at marquetry, but have never had the confidence in their latent talents and skills. Also available from Peter is a fully narrated video DVD entitled 'Marquetry Techniques and Tips', the price, as is the price of all our training DVDs, is £10.00. The 46 minute video, aimed at intermediate to advanced marquetarians, but also containing useful tips for beginners, covers cutting an initial window method to be let into an oval cartouche, gluing a thin stringer around a circle, applying stringers to a rectangle and letting in a panel using the 'reverse window' method. A new DVD of Geometric Marquetry is also available at the same price as the 'Techniques & Tips' DVD. Another new addition to our Tutorial DVD training discs series, this one featuring Master Marquetarian Alan Townsend, has now become available. This new DVD features not only Alan covering the subject of veneer preparing in a professional capacity, he also guides us through the tricky subject of portrait work in marquetry.
