Promoting the Art of Woodturning

IT'S BACK!!

Our Beginner’s Weekend Course is on again.

25th – 26th May

Numbers for these courses are strictly limited and fill quickly so book early.

A LITTLE ABOUT US

We are a Woodturning club based at the Aberfoyle Park High school, South of Adelaide, South Australia. We meet on the first Saturday of the month, between 10am and 4pm. Our meetings are a very social event and usually involve a hands on woodturning project and/or demonstration. 

With many of our members interested in other forms of woodwork, there is always something new to discuss and learn.

New people are always welcome to come and try,  no skill or experience necessary.

April 2024 - Carving/whittling demonstration by Doug Collins from the Fleurieu Woodworkers. A hands on project available.

DONATE A TREE

Our members are committed to the responsible use of wood through reuse and recycling natural timber into handcrafted craft and art items.

If you are having a tree removed or have a fallen tree, and the wood is not wanted, please consider donating it to our club. We can liaise with the tree removal company and arrange removal of the timber
