Woodworkers Showcase Returns

After a two-year Covid hiatus, the Northeast Woodworkers Association is returning with its 29th annual "Showcase" presentation at the Saratoga Springs City Center, 522 Broadway, Saratoga Springs N.Y. on the dates of March 26 & 27, 2022. Showcase Chairman Wally Carpenter said, “Our members have been busy for two years creating exciting works of art. I anticipate this will be our best show ever".

Times are 10 am to 5pm daily. Admission fee is $15, with children under 12 free.

This premier woodworking show will present hundreds of exhibits reflecting the art of woodworking, ranging from fine furniture to exquisite turnings, carvings, intarsia, scroll work, sculpture, toys, accessories, musical instruments, and all other things crafted of wood.

In addition to the exhibits, there will be numerous national and regional trade vendors, offering for sale, wide varieties of wood and woodworking related tools and accessories for all skill levels, many of whom will be demonstrating their products.

Lectures and demonstrations on a wide range of woodworking topics, presented by nationally and regionally recognized master craftsmen, are held continually throughout the two days, and are free of charge.

A traditionally popular demonstration is the Toy Factory where NWA members create wooden toys to pass out free to the children.

Exhibits, both amateur and professional, will be judged, and compete for coveted NWA award ribbons in multiple categories, including Best of Show and Peoples Choice.

Part of Showcase involves the Totally Turning symposium dedicated to the art of turning wood for which there is a separate charge, and all attendees must be pre-registered.

Parking is now available in the new attached parking garage.
