Welcome to the Baltimore Area Turners!

Monthly Meeting

Our next meeting is:

Event: For our November meeting, we are having the ever popular “Show-n-Tell”. Bring in samples of your latest works, whether they be successes or failures. We’ll lavish praise on the successes and offer condolences on the failures. If you attend via zoom, you can still show off your work by holding it up to your computer camera.

This will be a hybrid meeting at Woodcraft. You can attend the meeting live at the Woodcraft store or watch via Zoom. Watch your email for full details!
