Bio
The Avalon Woodturners' Guild is a group of 50 men and women who share an interest in woodturning and other woodcraft. The Guild was established with a mission to share ideas and techniques, and promote woodturning within our community.
The Guild meets on the second Wednesday of each month from September to May, at 7:30 pm. Our meetings are held in the New Beginnings Building (rear entrance) located at 53 Bond Street in downtown St. John's. Meetings begin with a short discussion of current and future projects, upcoming events, general interest items and ideas from the floor. Following this we have a Show and Tell session featuring the work of our members, a Bring Back Raffle and a coffee break which allows time for informal chat and a closer look at the work presented earlier. The last half of the evening is dedicated to a woodturning demonstration conducted by one of our members in the workshop located at the meeting space. Topics for the demos include a wide variety of objects, tools and techniques.
Membership fees are $25 per year, but prospective members are invited to attend a meeting or two with no obligation. Everyone is welcome! Our membership consists of all skills levels from beginner to pro - you do not need to know how to turn wood or own a lathe to join us.
