Intersections Wood Collaborative

Preparation for WOOD SYMPOSIUM 2026 has been a journey and today is our third last organizers meeting. We are so excited that all of the plans are becoming reality... amazing world renown session leaders speaking and demonstrating about wood, woodturning and woodworking (open by advance registration); a stunning exhibition at Grey Gallery (free admission, open to all); a banquet meal catered by Fresh Roots Cafe at Harmony Centre (separate banquet tickets available); pre and post hands on workshops at Intersections Wood Collaborative (sign up soon) and more!

Join us and take part in all that WOOD SYMPOSIUM 2026 has to offer. More information here:

We look forward to seeing you!

Brian Nelson sent us a few new photos and we had to share! Have you ever wondered how to make shapes like this from wood?

Brian Nelson is a session leader for WOOD SYMPOSIUM 2026 and his presentation: Getting Creative - The Art of Woodworking will focus on the exceptional (and often underappreciated) versatility of wood as a medium.

Join us! Only a few days left to register for WOOD SYMPOSIUM 2026!
