Welcome!
You’ve come to the award-winning home of one of the oldest woodturning clubs in the U.S. We bring woodturners of all skill levels together to share ideas and techniques, and we promote turning as both a craft and an art form.
What we do.
At our meetings, you'll see woodturning demonstrations, share ideas, and have a chance to show off your work. We alternate monthly meetings at the Brookfield Craft Center with learning sessions at members' shops.
Get to know us.
We urge you to visit this site often to see the wide range of our members' creativity and to check the upcoming events page for meetings, classes, and demos. We hope you like what you see, join the club, and participate in our regular activities.
Join the show!
The Brookfield Craft Center has invited Nutmeg members to be part of a show and sale this May and June. Called "Turning 20," the exhibition will celebrate the twenty years that the Turning Studio has been part of the craft center's campus.
There's no cost to members who wish to enter pieces in the show. And you don't have to offer your work for sale—but if you do, you'll get 60 percent of the proceeds. Depending on the number of people who enter, each person can have three to five pieces on display.
Let us know by March 10 if you'd like to be part of the show. You won't need to submit your turnings until late April. The newsletter sent to members on February 24 includes a link to a signup sheet. Hope to see you as part of the show.

The AAW is the world's largest organization devoted to work on the lathe. We urge all Nutmeg members to also join the AAW.
Our club has a long and rewarding association with the Brookfield Craft Center, which offers a wide range of classes in turning, weaving, jewelry, pottery, digital arts, and more.
Join the ongoing discussions on our Facebook group. Members can share images of their work, see what others are doing, and keep up with club events.
Join the club's Google Group to stay in touch with other Nutmeggers. This is a great resource if you have tools to sell or wood to share, or if you're in the market for tools or wood.
