THE VALLEY WOODTURNERS CLUB IS DEDICATED TO THE PROMOTION OF WOODTURNING AS A FUN AND CREATIVE HOBBY. ​

Next Club Meeting - Tuesday, 22 Oct 2024

The club will be hosting  a second club meeting in October with a special guest, Yann Marot from France.  Yann is a well-known international wood artist from France and will demonstrate the turning of a “rope bowl".  Yann teaches at the Escoulen Woodturning School in France.

Yann will also provide a hands-on session on October 23 at the Lee Valley seminar room.  Further details on this seminar can be found here.

Please join us in the cafetorium at the Confederation High School Education Centre (1645 Woodroffe Avenue, Ottawa).  We are also providing a ZOOM link, so those of you who prefer to attend on-line can do so.  If you have the time, please come out a little earlier to see your fellow turners and help set up for our meeting.  See you all there!
