First State Woodturners
First State Woodturners – headquartered in Delaware – is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Affiliate Chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW). Our Chapter provides an opportunity for area woodturners to meet regularly, show their recent work, learn new techniques, view demonstrations, and discuss various aspects of woodturning.
First State Woodturners
Our Chapter is open to woodturners of all ages and skill levels. We typically meet the first Wednesday of every month. Currently, most of our meetings are online via Zoom. But we also have Hands-On Workshops and other in-person events throughout the year.
Going forward, whether we meet online or in person, we plan to continue streaming our meetings so that everyone can attend regardless of where you live.
We have members throughout the Mid-Atlantic region – Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland – and beyond. In addition to our Regular Membership, we also offer a reduced-price Affiliate Membership for those who already belong to another AAW Chapter. International Memberships are available for those who live outside the US, and we have a Student Membership for K-12 students. And there’s also a Family Membership available. See our Membership page for complete details…
