Photo of the month
The Sheffield Woodturning club provides a place for those with an interest in this fascinating hobby to meet on a regular basis and share experiences, see professionals at work and learn from those with more experience and skill. You can see the type of things we make in our photo gallery pages.
We meet at the Wood Lane Countryside Centre, Stannington, on the second Thursday each month for a professional demo and then on the fourth Thursday for what we call our "Hands-on" evening - please see programme for full details.
Our club can offer you:-
- Monthly demos by a professional turner
- Monthly club nights where members can 'have a go' on our club lathes
- Discount on a range of woodturning products and materials is available every month
- Elston Sawmill join us every couple of months with some great value timber - see programme
- Full Day seminars
- The club has Public Liability insurance cover, and members are insured whilst engaged in club activities.
- A great group of people who are keen to 'talk wood' and pass on ideas, tips and general advice to newcomers. Oh, and we do a great line in tea & biscuits!
Sheffield Woodturning Club is an associate member of the AWGB (Association of Woodturners of Great Britain).
So, get out of your workshop and come along to a meeting - at no cost for the first couple of visits. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much you enjoy yourself.
