The annual subscription is £45. Which is equivalent to £1 per week. The group has a small shop that sells various tools, veneers and sundries at low prices.

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.

MEMBERS OLD AND NEW

Over the years many interesting people have demonstrated their marquetry skills at St Albans Group, making pictures, coasters and various applied work.

During the year demonstrations will also be held on more advanced techniques such as sand shading, fragmentation etc..
We are a welcoming, friendly group, and members enjoy sharing their own ideas and techniques with others. On the left you can see members at work in the group.
