Gold Coast Woodturners
Turning Wood, Shaping Community.
Gold Coast Woodturners is a South Florida-based nonprofit dedicated to sharing the joy, skill, and art of woodturning. We welcome makers of all levels, offering hands-on learning, community connection, and creative inspiration in a supportive environment.
The Artistic Turner
Woodturning isn’t just a craft—it’s an art form. Explore how form, grain, texture, and design come together to create pieces that are both expressive and one-of-a-kind. Discover your creative voice through turning.
Turning for the Kids
Making toys for the kids, grandkids, or for sale in local craft fairs, is a great way to utilize small pieces of wood – and small lathes will fit in any room of the house.
Turning for the Home
Afraid that your family and friends will say “What are you going to do with that?” Turning for the home – yours home or as gifts is limitless.
Turning for the Holidays

The Urn Project
The Gold Coast Woodturners, in conjunction with the South Florida Woodworking Guild (SFWG) and the Missing in America Project (MIAP), provide hand-crafted wood urns for veterans whose cremains have remained unclaimed.
