The Art of the Woodturner

October 17 and 18, 10:00am–4:00pm each day Woodturning is the art or process of fashioning wood into various forms and shapes by means of a lathe. Returning to the Arnold Arboretum for the 11th year, The Art of the Woodturner will again offer visitors the chance to see an amazing variety of woodturned pieces: large and small, functional and sculptural. Work from three New England clubs will be on view: the Association of Revolutionary Turners, Central New England Woodturners, and Massachusetts South Shore Woodturners. Each craftsperson brings their own personal artistic vision to the objects they create, and the pieces in maple, cherry, and other wood offer a unique look at the personality within the wood itself. Be sure to look for pieces turned from Arboretum wood as well. Experience in-depth demonstrations on the lathe in the Hunnewell Lecture Hall at 11:00am, 1:00pm, and 3:00pm on Saturday and Sunday, and throughout both days on the Hunnewell lawn. Registration is not required for this event. Accessibility: The lecture hall is wheelchair accessible. Audience: This program is appropriate for all ages. Inclement weather policy: This is a rain or shine event. Date & Time @ Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
