The Corridor Woodturners 

​of the Cedar Rapids / Marion Iowa metro area

is a local Chapter of the

American Association of Woodturners (​AAW).​

Corridor Woodturners meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of each month, starting at 6:30 PM, usually lasting about two hours.  We start with some announcements, buying raffle tickets, photographing your show-and-tell item (check out the galleries, above), then a demonstration of the topic of the month.  After a short break, we ask each person to discuss their show-and-tell item, marvel over the project-of-the-month items, and pick the raffle winners.  Guests are always welcome! 
Meetings are held at the Marion High School wood shop.
         (Maps to the high school are here and here.)

This photo is from the May 2023 Marion Arts Festival, where the Corridor Woodturners donated and sold bowls to the public.  This year, we're again participating in the event.  It is held in downtown Marion, May 18th, 2024.  All proceeds from the sale of wooden bowls go toward local food pantries.  Bring your bowls to the May 9 club meeting.  Each bowl donated will get a chance at a drawing for a large bowl blank.  If you miss the meeting, send an e-mail to coordinate a pickup.
