We warmly welcome new members. To join the Guild, download the application form below.

The membership subscription is currently $60.00 per annum. This is discounted by $10.00 for members of the New Zealand Association of Woodworkers.

Our Guild participates in a few local markets through the year where we can sell our woodwork, demonstrate woodturning and promote our Guild to the public. In order to make these opportunities successful, we all need to help out.

Click the button below to see what you volunteered for.

To add your name to the volunteer list, please text or email Glenis with your preferences.

If you are concerned about your health, feel free to wear a mask. If you are unwell, please do not attend.

We have a growing collection of woodwork related books, magazines etc available for members to borrow. The library is open at our monthly meetings.

If members would like to be included on the magazine rotation list, contact Russell. Click here to email him.

We have a display table at our monthly meetings. Bring your items for others to admire and one of the team will critique selected items. A critique is not a criticism – but an assessment of your finished piece. It may include a short discussion with the maker and suggestions for possible improvement.

Many of our Guild members are also members of the National Association of Woodworkers.

The benefits are many:

• Reduced KWWG annual subscription
• Monthly Zoom club meetings
• The quarterly Creative Wood magazine

• Free entry in the Art of Wood competition and
• The CSC App which provides discount at some retail outlets
• Online demonstrations

The Zoom Club meeting is held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 7pm. It is open to non-members as well.

The container will be open 30 minutes prior to our monthly meeting. There is plenty of dry wood at reasonable prices.

Wood for making these is available free of charge from the Guild container. Members are asked to please make one wig stand and one bowl per month.

Dimensions can be found on the Resources page.

For the Guild to run well and provide a range of interesting and relevant presentations, teaching and activities; all of our members need to be involved. You can help by:

• Suggesting a topic for a Saturday workshop.
