The Association has gone from strength to strength, it is now a non-profit body incorporated under statute and has a membership in the order of 750 turners. The Association has conducted workshops in 30 metropolitan and country centres and as a result there are now 6 metropolitan and 6 groups established in the country, all conducting their own monthly programs. As a community based organisation, the Association and the groups accede to many requests for demonstrations at Shows, Fairs and Fetes, of members working at their craft the requests are so numerous that not all can be fulfilled. While the information of the Association has led to the growth of the number of turners, there is ample evidence of the quality of wood products having improved, as many Members have successfully, exhibited at National level. There is an opportunity for you to attend the monthly 2 day workshops designed to provide interesting and practical demonstrations for all levels of turners and assist in their skill development.
Partners are welcome.
