Background
The Saskatchewan Woodworkers' Guild had its beginnings in 1978
when a group of woodworkers met informally to share ideas with others who had a common
interest in working with wood. Since that time the guild has grown to include members from
all walks of life, both professional woodworkers and hobbyists. Interests of the members
include all phases of woodworking from carving, turning, marquetry and cabinet
making to finishing and restoration. We welcome anyone with an interest in
"woody" things to join our guild .
Annual Wood Show
Every year, the Saskatchewan Woodworkers' Guild sponsors a show
to display the works of its members. This show is open to the public for viewing, and its
primary purpose is to educate the public and raise awareness of the beauty and diversity
of works that can be created from wood. A cross-section of the works displayed at the show
reflects the efforts of both the artisan and the novice woodworker. The annual show also
provides members with an opportunity to improve their woodworking skills. Preparing a
piece of work for display provides the motivation to strive for one's personal best and
expand on their woodworking knowledge. It is also a platform to share the creativity and
craftmanship with other members and the general public.
Monthly Meetings
Sharing of ideas and experiences by fellow crafts-people is one of the biggest
benefits gained by members at monthly meetings. Meetings are held on the third Thursday of
every month except except July and August. As an introduction to the Guild you are invited
to attend a monthly meeting as a guest.
For information on meeting location and times, please contact our webmaster.
