Membership Benefits
Membership in the Vermont Woodturners Guild is open to anyone desiring to attend our monthly meetings and activities and to participate, learn, and share ideas about woodturning with other members.
Members are encouraged to also become members of the American Association of Woodturners and enjoy its benefits as well.
Member benefits include, but are not limited to:
-
Monthly meetings with live demonstrations, instant gallery, wood raffle, and president’s challenge gallery. Visitors and guests are welcome to sample a meeting as our guest, but should join the club if they wish to return and participate. The majority of the club dues cover the costs of our demonstrations, equipment costs, prize money, and other club costs. The remainder funds club expenses and our annual holiday party and are used to educate the public about the art and craft of woodturning.
-
Monthly newsletters and website with club information. Most members get the most up to date club info from our website, additionally we also publish a regular newsletter by email sharing and recapping guild news and activities. The website also has many great features, including information about workshops, events calendar and the Russ Fellows Woodturning Center.
-
Network with other wood turners. You’ll learn more from regularly brushing elbows with other turners than by any other means. There are hundreds of years of woodturning experience that you can take advantage of by talking with our members. A mentorship program is available for members.

Members of the Vermont Woodturners Guild are covered under the AAW liability insurance for club-related activities.
