The Chicago Woodturners have been organized as club for more than 22 years. Membership has been as high a 200, and a typical meeting draws about 80 attendees. It's a perfect opportunity to meet other Woodturners from novice to studio artists. Visitors are always welcome as are new members. Our meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month starting at 7PM. We meet in the basement of the Palatine WOODCRAFT store. This gives our members a perfect opportunity to stock up on needed woodturning supplies prior to the start of our meeting. Our club offers a mentoring program to individuals that feel a one-on-one experience would enhance their learning. In addition, our monthly meetings include a "gallery" review of members projects. It's a time to get needed feedback on individual creations. Following the review a club member holds a demonstration on a topic of their choosing. The demos are intended to appeal to a wide range of turners with different levels of experience. Our club is a friendly place to learn and share ideas with other members.
