Nutmeg Woodturner’s League 20th Anniversary Exhibition

August 16 – September 26, 2009
Opening Reception Sunday, August 16, 2-4pm

As a tribute to the mission of the Nutmeg Woodturners League, and to celebrate twenty years of partnership with Brookfield Craft Center, this exhibition showcases the talents and efforts of a diverse group of dedicated woodturners. All work in the exhibition will be for sale, directly benefitting the individual woodturner and the Craft Center, and you can take your purchase home with you on the spot.

The Mission
The Nutmeg Woodturners League was founded in 1989, “to create a group where all people who had an interest in woodturning could meet and share with other turners...a group where all people would be equally important: No VIPs, higher ups, or inner circle of cognoscenti. The idea was to share what you knew with others and get back what others might have shared with you.”

These exhibitions are made possible by The Lynn Tendler Bignell Foundation and the CT Commission on Culture and Tourism.
