2024 Holiday Party Our annual Holiday Party was a fun evening full of conversation, gifts, cupcakes and ice cream. Norm Hinman, who joined Nor-Cal Woodturners in 1989 (11 months after the group was formed), was able to join us. He shared some stories about how the club was formed and was given a standing ovation by everyone there. Noele DeSafey discussed the Women in Turning's Wig Stand project that we will start in 2025. She and Leanne Pierson also shared their collaborative projects and talked about doing something similar with Nor-Cal. There were lots of beautiful turnings shared in the gift exchange with many smiles created. Click on the photos below to see them larger. |
Nor-Cal Woodturners is dedicated to promoting the art of woodturning. We would be happy to meet with any organization or school that would like to learn more about this age old craft. If you have any questions write to information@norcallwoodturners.org
Nor-Cal Woodturners is a non-profit organization of woodturning enthusiasts from the greater Sacramento, California area. Our membership ranges from the novice to the seasoned woodturning professional.
Our mission is to foster an appreciation of the traditions and art of Woodturning. We do this by sharing our experiences, techniques and the turnings we produce with each other and the public.
Whether it's through our Youth Training Program, the Mentor program, club-sponsored day long turning events with nationally and internationally famous woodturners, our extensive library of books, tapes and DVDs or our monthly meetings, there is something for everyone.
The club meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month (except in November and December).
