American Association of Woodturners
Our national woodturning organization, the AAW, is a great resource. We recommend membership for all of our students. Membership provides you with a beautiful journal and access to great videos and articles on the association's website. (also qualifies you for a $20 discount when you take one of our all day workshops)
Local Woodturning Clubs
We are fortunate in Baltimore to be close to a number of local clubs associated with the AAW. These clubs welcome new and experienced turners to their monthly meetings. Joining a club is a great way to improve your skills, learn about tools and equipment purchases, meet great people and gain inspiration for your woodturning projects (also qualifies you for a $20 discount when you take one of our all day workshops)
