The Northeastern Woodworkers Association (NWA) is an all volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization of approximately 500 woodworkers located in the Albany, NY region. We are dedicated to the advancement of the arts and crafts of fine woodworking through education, demonstrations, social interaction and woodworking projects.
Our association includes accomplished artisans as well as intermediate and beginner woodworkers — all skill levels are welcome. We improve our skills throughout the year by learning from each other. Our communities benefit when we are able to offer our woodworking skills for charitable projects.
We have a beautiful woodworking shop located at 97 Railroad Avenue in Albany that hosts classes, workshops and group activities. You can find out more about us by exploring this website or, better yet, come to one of our Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings or one of our monthly Chapter Meetings and talk with us. We’d love to meet you. Check our Calendar for times and locations and our News page to see what’s new.
We urge you to consider joining the NWA to take advantage of all the NWA has to offer.
NWA tries to keep its membership affordable by keeping operating costs low. Membership fees, however, are supplemented by selling donated tools and lumber to members and by monies derived from the annual Showcase Exposition in Saratoga Springs. Additional donations are most welcome and are used to buy or to repair equipment or supplies that may sometimes fall outside of the annual operating budget. You can make a direct donation to NWA via PayPal using the General Fund Donation button below. Stay safe, help others and keep woodworking.
