The idea to formulate a local AAW chapter came after a successful introduction to Woodturning during the summer workshops at PVCC over a year ago.

Interest was so great that Steve Butler, Woodworking Department Head at that time, laid the ground work for this chapter to grow. "All ideas and suggestions are welcomed," said Butler, "I truly hope this grows in numbers." Turners, regardless of skill level, are encouraged to come out and meet other turners; to learn other/new turning techniques and to share their own favorite techniques.

While Butler was awaiting approval on the new local chapter of AAW, he added nine new One-Way Lathes to the Wood Studio facility at PVCC, so more workshops could be offered. Guest instructors have included nationally recognized artists Graeme Priddle, Mark St. Leger, Michael Mocho, and Mark Sfirri, Harvey Fein and Beth Ireland.
