Woodworkers Showcase Returns to City Center

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The 33rd annual Northeast Woodworkers Association (NWA) Woodworkers Showcase will return to the Saratoga Springs City Center on March 28 and 29.

The showcase will feature over 500 exhibits highlighting the artistry of woodworking. Attendees can expect to see an array of displays, including fine furniture, intricate turnings, carvings, intarsia, scroll work, sculptures, toys, and accessories, as well as musical instruments.

Exhibitors, ranging from amateurs to seasoned professionals, will vie for NWA award ribbons in various categories, including Best of Show and People’s Choice.

Throughout the two-day event, attendees can participate in lectures and demonstrations highlighted by nationally known master craftsmen Logan Wittmer, Tom McLaughlin, and Libby Schrum, among others.

In addition to the exhibits, numerous national and regional trade vendors will be on-site, offering a diverse selection of wood and woodworking tools and accessories for all skill levels.

Sunday is Family Day, where children can learn about woodworking at the Toy Factory, and can build a toy to take home with the help of NWA members. Additionally, children and parents can try their hand at turning and creating a pen on a lathe, guided by NWA members.

Part of the Woodworkers Showcase is the Totally Turning Symposium, dedicated to the art of turning wood on a lathe. This symposium requires a separate registration fee, and all attendees must pre-register. The turned creations of the artisans will be on display as part of the overall show.
