The SSWG is a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) which is a worldwide organization with more than 15,000 members. The primary goals of the guild are to facilitate sharing of information and ideas, to support the education and skill development of members and to promote woodturning in the community.

The SSWG usually meets once per month from September to June. Meetings are at 7:00 on the third Tuesday of every month. Most meetings are held in the basement of St. Mary’s Parish Hall, 2020 Winnipeg Street in Regina. Visitors are welcomed, so feel free to stop in and see what we are all about! (but check the website first to be sure the meeting is at the usual location!)

Activities at the meetings include a show and tell session in which members bring some of their work to share with others, and then the main focus of the meeting will be either a demonstration of some technique, process or skill, or a “turn-fest” which is a hands-on practice session where all members are given an opportunity to try something new or practice a particular skill.
