The AAW International Woodturning Symposium is not just an event to learn about woodturning, it's also a celebration of the accomplishments of woodturners, chapter and artists. This year, eleven artists were recognized by AAW and the Professional Outreach Program (POP) for pieces featured in the Themed Member Exhibition and the Instant Gallery.
Congratulations to all the awardees!
