Welcome!
You’ve come to the award-winning home of one of the oldest woodturning clubs in the U.S. We bring turners 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 woodturning 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.
Allen Nemetz Memorial Service
A memorial service for Allen, a longtime Nutmeg member who died on March 20, will be held on Saturday, April 25, at 11 am, at the Prince of Peace Church, on Rte. 133 in Brookfield.
Born in Illlinois in 1940, Allen earned an engineering degree from Valparaiso University, in Indiana. Allen and his wife, Pam, moved to Brookfield in 1980, where he was the president and CEO of the manufacturing firm PIC Design. Allen is survived by his wife, his son David and daughter Lauri, and three grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to the charity of your choice.

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.
