The Southwest School of Woodworking is Arizona’s only comprehensive woodworking school. The school was founded in 2013 by a group of professional woodworkers who became concerned about the lack of woodworking education in high schools and technical schools. Our mission is to pass on the craft of woodworking, and we love bringing new woodworkers into the fold.
Join acclaimed wood turner and teacher Matt Monaco as he demonstrates and explains in detail his techniques for turning a range of pieces on the lathe. Monaco, who has deep experience turning production pieces as well as one-of-a-kind gallery work, creates functional turnings with a classical flair and impeccable technique.
