Newcastle Store- The Border Woodturning Cup hosted by Axminster Newcastle
Newcastle Store- The Border Woodturning Cup hosted by Axminster Newcastle
Axminster Newcastle are very proud to host the Border Woodturning Cup. This is a woodturning competition that has been competed in for many years by several wood turning clubs from Yorkshire, Cumbria, Northumberland and Scotland.
The competition showcases the very best from the clubs entering and the work will be on show at the store ready for judging.
We have invited Pat Carroll, an international woodturner from Ireland, to come and judge the competition as well as demo in-store on the day. A great day for anyone interested in woodturning and a huge wealth of knowledge will be in store on the day, as well as information about the turning clubs. Plenty of other raffles and competitions to get involved in on the day! An event NOT to be missed- grab your tickets now.
