Promoting woodturning and fine woodwork

Introducing the Hills Woodworkers

We are an inclusive not-for-profit community group based in the Adelaide Hills, and we welcome all those interested in woodturning and woodwork, from beginners to experts.

We promote woodturning and fine woodworking, enjoy interacting with each other, and learning in a friendly environment. We support members developing their capabilities by sharing skills and techniques. We also showcase woodturning and fine woodworking to the wider community.
