Rocky Mountain Marquetry Guild

Rocky Mountain Marquetry Guild In 2016, we obtained non-profit status under the IRS 501(c)3 statute. The targeted RMMG membership area is Southern Wyoming and the Front Range of Colorado.

The Rocky Mountain Marquetry Guild is the Denver-area chapter of the American Marquetry Society and provides information and outreach about the artistic medium of marquetry. However, all are welcome. Even if you are only passing through and can make it to one of our meetings, workshops, or events, please stop by! We like to see new faces! If you decide to join the Rocky Mountain Marquetry Guild, p

lease ask for details from any club member or go to our web site; http://www.comarquetry.org . At the web site, you should find meeting and event schedules, but if you join, event reminders will be emailed so you don’t miss out.

This looks like a once in a lifetime event. Gotta get to this!

John A. Eifler, 94, passed away on August 31, 2019. John was extremely influential in promoting and teaching marquetry in Colorado for many years. He made improvements to an early version of a table-mounted fret saw (hand-operated scroll saw), wrote plans for building the saw that made it more widely accessible, and ran a free workshop in Louisville, CO that provided a place for interested woodworkers and others to learn marquetry using the saw.

Over the years, many Coloradoans learned marquetry from John and gained access to knowledgeable colleagues making marquetry. The knowledge and interest in marquetry that John cultivated led to the formation of the Rocky Mountain Marquetry Guild, a chapter of the American Marquetry Society. The workshop he began in the early 1980s continues to this day.

Artists as well as woodworkers came to the workshop and enjoyed the great satisfaction of making marquetry pictures or marquetry images to incorporate into their woodworking projects. Those of us who learned marquetry from John are grateful that he was so dedicated to teaching marquetry and worked so hard to make the tool and the process accessible to us.
