Art of Turning rebrands as Winnipesaukee Woodworks, relocates in Meredith

MEREDITH — A new chapter in handcrafted woodworking has arrived in downtown Meredith. Formerly known as Art of Turning, the business has officially rebranded as Winnipesaukee Woodworks and relocated to its new home at 51 Main St., expanding its vision as a destination for handcrafted wood decor, artisan kitchenware, meaningful gifts, and fine woodworking from local makers.

Founded by artisan Andrew Eaton, the business began as a woodturning gallery and gift shop specializing in handcrafted bowls and turned wood art. As the gallery continued to grow, it became clear that the original name no longer reflected the entirety of work on display.

Winnipesaukee Woodworks opened Nov. 1, and features a curated collection of wooden home decor, wood sculpture, wall art, artisan games, cutting boards, charcuterie boards, spoons, spatulas, and heirloom-quality pieces created by talented craftspeople from across New Hampshire and the Lakes Region.

"We quickly realized that Art of Turning had become much more than a woodturning gallery," said Eaton. "The gallery now represents a wider range of woodworking and craftsmanship. Winnipesaukee Woodworks better reflects our mission to showcase exceptional handmade woodworks while celebrating the creativity and talent of local makers."

The new location will offer visitors an immersive gallery experience, with plans for a dedicated demonstration studio where guests can observe the woodworking process and gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry behind each piece. The gallery will also feature rotating displays, special events, and opportunities to connect directly with makers.

Located in the heart of downtown Meredith, Winnipesaukee Woodworks invites residents and visitors alike to explore handcrafted pieces that bring beauty, purpose, and character into everyday life.
