The Southern Piedmont Woodturners Association leases a large space here at ClearWater Arts Center & Studios (Studio 122), and has about 65-70 members. See their Artist Page on this website, for images; and/or their own website for more info. The club meets every 3rd Tuesday evening and non-members are welcome to attend the first time for free. Any participation in turning activities is only allowed after joining the club and taking appropriate training.
SOUTHERN PIEDMONT WOODTURNERS PRESENT:
DARRYL JONES
“Dread Knot and Make Something!”
Darryl Jones will be our April demonstrator and I like his message, “Dread Knot and make something!” Meaning; just take it a step at a time and amaze yourself at what you can do.
You may have seen Darryl demonstrating at the Klingspor Extravaganza or any of a number of Woodworking shows representing various manufacturers. He is a professional woodworker/turner from Spartanburg SC. He joins us this month in the studio doing a hollow form with finial. Darryl will be emphasizing tool control and proportions.
You can check out Darryl’s work on Facebook and Instagram. @dreadknotwoodshop
As always it is best to experience the demonstration and gallery live in the studio, but if you can’t make it will be on Zoom.

Safe turning methods are taught and various turning days held for members monthly!
The Southern Piedmont Woodturners meet for fellowship and technical demonstrations on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm until 9:00 pm. We meet at our studio (#122) at ClearWater Arts Center & Studios, 223 Crowell Drive NW, Concord, NC 28025. Members begin to arrive for informal gathering around 5:30 pm; the meeting formally starts at 6:30 pm and the program is usually finished by 9:00 pm.
We usually have an "Instant Gallery" of members’ items they bring to demonstrate how previous demonstrators have influenced their work. We also have a raffle of items to raise funds for the club.
In addition to ClearWater Arts Center & Studios, the SPW is associated with the Cabarrus County Arts Council (CCAC), the American Association of Woodturners (AAW), and the North Carolina Woodturners Association (NCWA).
To inquire about club activities, see the club website. Or, you may call the ClearWater Arts Center and speak with ClearWater Coordinator, Sarah Gay at 704-920-6600 who can help direct your call.
A typical monthly meeting with demonstrator showing a technique of interest.
