MID SOUTH WOODTURNERS GUILD
Founded 1997
Monthly Meetings
We hold monthly meetings with demonstrations where professionals and club members share techniques and tips. It’s a great chance to learn from and exchange knowledge with many experienced turners. Plus, it’s a wonderful opportunity to connect and share experiences and life stories with fellow turners.
We use cameras and large screen monitors to project demonstration work being done so everyone can see. Our sound system gives everyone an understandable audio experience.
The meeting room is designed like an amphitheater, perfect for training, so everyone can see and use personal computers and notebooks comfortably. Plus, we have great wireless internet.
Guests are always welcome!
