Scrollers

The Scrolling Special Interest Group (legally a Committee) of the Woodworkers of Central New York, Inc. meets on the Third (3rd) Wednesday of every other month with no meetings in the summer. ** The location of the meetings is up-in-the-air as of January 2023 due to issues with the Belgium Cold Springs Fire District restricting access to the facility for members of the Fire Department. Meetings will likely be held at Eight Acres Event Center in the workshop with Zoom available for our long-distance members. **

The group conducts programs and other activities that focus on the art and craft of creating projects using the scroll saw. The meetings are rather informal. Sometimes there is a formal program and often a challenge given to each attendee after the program. Always, each attendee brings pieces they've completed and the group has a lively discussion regarding their construction, challenges, and creation process. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate.
