AAW Gallery of Wood Art

The Gallery of Wood Art will be closed this Sunday due to illness. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

It’s time for the AAW Symposium! The Gallery will be closed May 30th to June 9th as we commune, collaborate, confer and have a big woodturning get together in Raleigh, North Carolina. Check out the website, aawsymposium.org and stop by if you are in Raleigh!

AAW International Woodturning Symposium The American Association of Woodturning's Annual Symposium is the biggest woodturning event in the world and has something for everyone, no matter your experience level. Learn from the best woodturners in the world, experience the industry's largest tradeshow, and browse wood art exhibitions.

A decade or so ago, we set up a temporary exhibition of works from our Permanent Collection at the gorgeous Saint Paul City Hall and Courthouse. Last month all of the pieces came home for our summer show, Art from the Lathe.

Artists shown: clockwise from top: Marcel van Berkel, Dave Bowers, Alain Mailland, Dixie Biggs.

Our last exhibition, Holding Space, is all packed up and ready to go to Raleigh for the AAW Symposium and our annual auctions! If you missed the show or are coveting a piece you saw, every piece is online at
