| Montgomery County Woodturners is now in its sixth year! We are a group of woodturners with skills varying from novice to professional. The one common trait we all share is the passion to create beautifully turned objects from various types of material, much of which would otherwise be destined for the fireplace! Current MCW membership is in the 60's. We meet monthly in Rockville, MD, and we would be pleased if you would join us for a demonstration and for fellowship. We provide cameraderie and education through demonstrations and discussions at monthly meetings, through articles in the monthly newsletter, and by access to a wide array of information on our web site. As one of more than 300 local chapters, we encourage members to also join the American Association of Woodturners (AAW), providing even more educational resources through a quarterly journal, web site, resource directory, and annual symposiums. MCW is a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners.The AAW is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of woodturning and has over 13,000 members in 27 countries. Many of these members also belong to one (or more) of the AAW's local chapters. Although MCW is a local chapter of the AAW, an individual's membership in this chapter does not imply membership in the AAW or vice versa. Membership in AAW is encouraged as it provides an additional source of great information (quarterly journal, national symposiums, members-only resources) and services not available with MCW. Visitors and guests welcome. Please join us if you're in the area. Come and learn about the art and craft of woodturning. We look forward to seeing you! |
