The AWSA Symposium 2026 programme and Breakaway Demonstrations are now finalised, and we are getting very excited to welcome you to New Hope School, Pretoria, from 2–5 October 2026.

MEET OUR MAIN DEMONSTRATOR – POENA COETZEE

We are thrilled to welcome Poena Coetzee as our Main Demonstrator this year.

Poena’s love for woodworking started with his father and grandfather, who taught him to use woodworking tools and sparked a lifelong passion for working with wood. After a fulfilling 40-year career in education, he retired and was finally able to spend more time doing what he loves.

Poena’s hands are never still — always creating, experimenting and finding clever ways to make woodworking and turning processes easier.
We can’t wait to see what he has in store for us!

Poena is joined by an the following exciting line-up of demonstrators:

Carel van der Merwe • Andrew Bourke • Gerrit van Niekerk • Jan Richter • Hylton & Steph Oliver • Alan Crawford • Andy Sutton

And that’s not all! Our Breakaway Demonstrations offer even more opportunities to learn, explore and be inspired throughout the symposium.

The Woodcut carving stand has the unique advantage that the rotation and angle is controlled with two separate and independent levers. This ensures that you always have control over the piece that you are working on.
It can be mounted in the toolpost of your lathe, on a bench with the optional mounting plate and is also Vacuum chuck compatible
