Discover Handmade Treasures

At The Mackay Woodturners Club Expo

This Christmas, why not find gifts that are truly one-of-a-kind? The Mackay Woodturners Club, tucked away at Snow Wright Ct, Andergrove, is opening its doors for a weekend of creativity, craftsmanship, and festive cheer.

This weekend, on 22nd and 23rd November, from 9am–3pm, visitors can explore the impressive skills of local artisans working in woodturning, scroll sawing, intarsia, wood burning (pyrography), and carving, with free entry!

Woodturning is far more than a hobby, it’s an art form that requires patience, precision, and a keen eye for detail. For the club’s members, it’s also a therapeutic and mindful practice, providing a creative escape and a chance to connect with a passionate community.

This year’s Expo will showcase a range of handmade gifts, from toys to homewares, each piece telling a story of dedication and skill. In a world of mass-produced goods, these handcrafted treasures offer quality, longevity, and the chance to support local talent.

Come along, browse the incredible creations, and grab Christmas gifts that will be treasured for years to come.
