The American Association of Woodturners 36th Annual International Woodturning Symposium will take place in Chattanooga, June 23-26, with more than 1,000 makers from around the globe gathering to learn, share, and celebrate the timeless art and craft of woodturning. Due to COVID-19, this will be the first live, in person AAW Symposium since 2019. It will be held at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
Woodturning is a fascinating creative pursuit that engages individuals from age 8 to 108. In addition to educational sessions and demonstrations for registered symposium attendees, the conference offers events that are free and open to the public including woodturning exhibitions, galleries, benefit auctions, charitable projects, and a trade show AAW welcomes the public, all ages, to visit, explore, and absorb the woodturning experience.
