About Us

Our Club…

Welcome to the Kennet & Avon Woodturners club. We are a friendly bunch of men and women of all ages who have a common interest in woodturning. Our club has been running since 2009 and we’re proudly affiliated with the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain. We have a dedicated committee who proactively run our club promoting a friendly, inclusive and collaborative environment, where all skill levels are equally welcomed.

Our Members…

We maintain a truely inclusive, open and entertaining environment where like-minded people can socialise, share ideas and discuss what they’ve made. Our members range from teenagers to 80 years+ and we range from hobbiests, amateurs and we’re fortunate to have two professional turners with over 90+ years of turning experience. We have a number demonstrations throughout each year deliver by professional turners, sharing their knowledge and passion for the craft. We also enjoy a number of ‘Hands-on’ events where anyone can learn new skills & techniques and each December we have a ‘Showcase’ evening, where our members can display the items made that year, as well as take part in our annual competition, donating our competition pieces to a well deserved charity or local hospital.
