About the event

On Saturday and Sunday the 2nd and 3rd of November, club members from The Wellington Guild of Woodworkers will demonstrate their woodworking skills and techniques through a variety of interactive demonstrations and activities in the main foyer of Pātaka.

A number of games and events are planned for children are planned, with the details and times TBC.


The Guild is very pleased to be able to confirm that a nationally known woodturner, Troy Grimwood, will also be participating in the weekend activities. Following a rock climbing accident that left him paralysed without the use of his legs, Troy took up woodturning and he now exhibits and demonstrates his art and skills nationally and internationally.

So if you are interested in woodturning, carving or wood in general, Saturday or Sunday at Pātaka will be the place to be.
