Thread: Learning to Turn in the UK

Hi Guys and Girls, I know this is the Australian Forums but the membership is very international and I am one of the members from the UK.

I'd like to introduce you to the Max Carey Woodturning Trust. It started out as a workshop to our club the Avon & Bristol Woodturners owned by Max and wishing it to continue to be available for the future (we lost him Christmas 2011) it was formed into a charitable trust to teach and promote woodturning in the UK.

Our club membership is too large to hold our evening meetings there but we hold weekend demonstrations and it is open Tuesdays & Thursdays, as the trust, for tuition.

The charge is £7 per day, bring your own lunch, wood extra or supply your own. We have Association of Woodturners of Great Britain qualified tutors and can take people from beginners, the Apprenticeship Programme, through the Journeyman Scheme and onto artistic turning in the Artisan Programme.

If anyone is ever in the area of Bristol or North Somerset, please call in and say hello.
