Our Meetings
Our group meet at the Club Rooms in The Brunswick Centre each month where we have demonstrations, discussions, lectures and share information usually about turning but not always. In the past we also had lectures about making Windsor Chairs, Walking Sticks, photographing work and Basket Weaving which were very popular among members. Our monthly meetings begin with a “Turn and Tell” where members are asked to produce items based on a theme. This is popular and some interesting and diverse items are often produced, and some members are asked about the chosen timber, the design, construction and finish.
Previous Meeting
April Meeting
This month's meeting was an all day demonstration by professional woodturner, Helen Baillie.
Helen is a very experienced and informative turner who has traveled all over the world with her demonstrations. She turned a number of pieces, including a raggedy edge bowl, thin walled square platter and a compact mirror.
Helen went into great detail about her technics, and style also safety. We were also entertained with stories about how she got into woodturning through her father and her travels demonstrating.
