As the name implies the GWA Woodturners Special Interest Group is all about things related to turning wood (mostly wood anyway). Your GWA membership badge is your ticket to all special interest group meetings and all members are welcome.
The Woodturners SIG meets monthly. Each meeting is a class on various aspects of turning. Members regularly teach the class based on their interest and expertise in the topic with occasional presentations by outstanding professional turners.
The GWA Woodturners SIG is also a chapter, number 192, of the American Association of Woodturners (http://www.woodturners.org). As such all AAW members are welcome anytime as visitors or occasional SIG-approved instructors.
The novice turner will always find help available at the meetings or through individual time spent with more experienced members.
Meetings are held the third Saturday of each month from 8:00AM to 10:30 AM at Peachtree woodworking Supply.
Visitors are welcome anytime although we reserve the right to ask frequent visitors to join the GWA. Contacts:
- Eric Winney - 770-928-2399- SIG Chairman
- Mike Peace - 770.362-4308
