Who We AreWelcome to Gold Country Woodturners We are a group of woodturners who live in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills concentrated around Grass Valley and Nevada City, California. We share our work, methods, new ideas, and demonstrate tools and techniques with each other and in our community. Between meetings we are available to help each other, gather wood, and search out learning and teaching opportunities. We are an active chapter of the American Association of Woodturners with approximately 75 members. Women In Turning Women in Turning (WIT) is the newest committee of the AAW, bringing together women worldwide who share a passion for woodturning. Member Cheryl Lewis is the Gold County Woodturner's liaison with the AAW. To learn more about WIT click the logo.
2019 Christmas Party Shavings Session Sept.4, 2019
| Monthly Meeting February 26, 2020 6:30 Nevada City Elk Club Cheryl Lewis - Ancient Painting Technique Come to February’s meeting to see Cheryl Lewis demonstrate something you’ve probably never seen before. Curious? Great! She says it’s a fun surprise and she’ll unveil a technique sure to get friends talking about your latest woodturning project. Empty Bowls
Great start As of the 1/22 Meeting: 50 Bowls Now that you have finished all your holiday gifts it is time to start turn bowls for our once a year Empty Bowl project for our local homeless shelter. We have set a goal of 75 bowls. Hospitality House would like 6 to 8 inch functional bowls, but they will gladly accept artistic bowls for their auction. We have only 2 more meetings (Jan. 22 and Feb. 26) to turn in bowls, so turn, turn, turn! Last year we provided over 100 bowls, I think we could do better this year if we go for it. Local restaurants provide the soup, we along with ceramic potters provide the bowls. Last year Empty Bowls raised $35,000 for Hospitality House. This is an important outreach and service to our community!
