The Marquetry Society is the central body to which most of
us ‘groups’ world wide are affiliated . It is a sort of head office and is
the organiser of national events and publicity for marquetry as a whole.
The Society, through its exhibitions and publications, helps to maintain
the very high standards of marquetry seen at many events all over Great
Britain, and indeed globally, as the Society also includes many members in
every continent of this wonderful world of ours. The Society does a
magnificent job every year with it's organising and administration of the
British "Marquetry Society National Exhibition". This exhibition attracts
marquetry exhibits and entries from an incredible host of Marquetarians
world wide. It really shows the extremely high levels of progress that
marquetry has achieved within it's own unique artistic disciplines during
this last half century, the Society must take a pat on the back for it's
efforts in guiding the marquetry movement to the prestigious heights it
has so far reached and the further heights it will reach in the years to
come.
The Society was founded in 1952 and has grown steadily since then into the
august body that it is today. The Society contains a wealth of knowledge and
expertise within its ranks and is always welcoming to any new or potentially new
members who would like to enter the fascinating world of marquetry.
The Society produces it's own publication "The Marquetarian" on a quarterly
basis. This is a superbly presented and informative magazine that, on it's own
merits alone, makes it an imperative to join the Society just in order to obtain
a regular copy of the journal if for no other reasons, although, to become a
Society member and obtain all the other benefits of membership is equally to be
recommended.
