Welcome!

You’ve come to the award-winning home of one of the oldest woodturning clubs in the U.S. We bring woodturners of all skill levels together to share ideas and techniques, and we promote turning as both a craft and an art form.

What we do.

At our meetings, you’ll see wood-turning demonstrations, share ideas, and have a chance to show off your work. We alternate monthly meetings at the Brookfield Craft Center with learning sessions at members' shops.

Get to know us.

We urge you to visit this site often to see the wide range of our members' creativity and to check the upcoming events page for meetings, classes, and demos. We hope you like what you see, join the club, and participate in our regular activities.

Happy faces from the April Learn-and-Turn

Thanks to Don for hosting, and thanks to Julann Troiano for these photos.

Don is also the subject of a long, informative profile by Terry Tougas on the Brookfield Craft Center web site. You can read it here.

Longtime Nutmegger Don Metz once again hosted a Learn-and-Turn event for a dozen members at his shop in Southbury. The subject was making small bowls and vessels. Judging from these expressions, the event went over well.

The AAW is the world's largest organization devoted to work on the lathe. We urge all Nutmeg members to also join the AAW.

Our club has a long and rewarding association with the Brookfield Craft Center, which offers a wide range of classes in turning, weaving, jewelry, pottery, digital arts, and more.

Join the ongoing discussions on our Facebook group. Members can share images of their work, see what others are doing, and keep up with club events.

Join the club's Google Group to stay in touch with other Nutmeggers. This is a great resource if you have tools to sell or wood to share, or if you're in the market for tools or wood.
