Huron Valley Woodturners

Written By Dena Koehn

A woodturning club for all experience levels.

The Huron Valley Woodturners is a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) serving the greater Ann Arbor, Michigan area since 2006.

Our purpose is to share woodturning information and resources among our members, providing continuing education in the art craft of woodturning. We also give back to the local community through charitable activities.

We typically meet on the 3rd Sunday of each month (see events page) from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Crossroads Community Center located at 5501 Webster Church Rd, Dexter, MI 48130. Visitors are welcome, so please attend a free meeting to decide if you would like to join.

We are not a large group, so there is plenty of time for interaction at our meetings, where we offer woodturning-related demonstrations and discuss tools, techniques, local, regional, and national woodturning events, special programs, classes, material and training resources, as well as current member activities.

Visitors are welcome, so please attend a meeting to see if you are interested in becoming a member. Annual membership dues are $60 for those 18 years of age or older. Youth memberships, for those under age 18, are free, but require the consent of a parent or guardian.
