Bowled & Beautiful Woodturning

04/07/2026

The club I learnt my woodturning skills at and continue to enjoy my hobby at, is Hamilton Woodturners Club.

Each term they run Fraser High ACE Woodturning classes and enrollments for Term 3 are now open.

These are great classes for turners of all levels to learn and hone their skills on the lathe under the guidance of our tutors.
