Woodworkers To Gather at City Center

 

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Northeast Woodworkers Association (NWA) is hosting its 26th annual Showcase presentation at the City Center, 522 Broadway, on April 1 and 2.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The admission fee is $10, but for children under 12 it is free.

This premier NWA show, the largest of its kind in the country, will be presenting over 600 exhibits reflecting the art of woodworking. They range from fine furniture to exquisite turnings, carvings, intarsia, scrollwork, sculpture, toys and accessories, as well as musical instruments, all offered on a background of oriental rugs and plants.

Exhibiters, both amateur and professional, travel from all over the United States for the opportunity to show their works of art, and compete for coveted NWA ribbons in multiple categories, including Best of Show and People’s Choice.

Lectures and demonstrations on a wide range of woodworking topics, presented by nationally and regionally recognized master craftsmen, are held continually throughout the two days and are free of charge.

In addition to the exhibits, there will be nearly 100 national and regional trade vendors, offering for sale wide varieties of woodworking tools and accessories for all skill levels.

The featured Special Exhibits this year are the large and small wooden tools used in the creation of Fiber Arts.
