Video about the Gallery Showing

 

The North Jersey Woodcarvers is a chapter of the National Woodcarvers Association. We were organized in 1972 to pass the knowledge of woodcarving to others.

We currently meet the third Tuesday of each month (except  December) at the American Woodcarving School, 21 Pompton Plains Xrd. (Jackson Ave), Wayne, NJ. 973-835-8555

Meetings start at 7PM with a short talk about club business followed by a “Show & Tell” where members are encouraged to bring a carving and explain how they made it. Lastly there is a “Demo” or presentation by a member or guest carver.

There is always plenty of coffee, sometimes a treat and great fellowship. Guests are invited to attend up to three meetings and then are asked to join. Membership is only $20.00 per year and gets you our monthly newsletter emailed to you.
