Glenn Lucas announces scholarships for third All-Women Woodturning Week
Glenn Lucas packed a June update with a new video, an e-zine, and eight scholarships for young women eyeing his 2027 All-Women Woodturning Week.
Glenn Lucas’s June 17 summer update was built for three different kinds of readers at once: regular followers of Glenn Lucas Woodturning, turners looking for a new video download, and young women who want a real entry point into his training calendar. The post pointed to a June 2026 e-zine, a special offer, and the scholarship announcement for the third All-Women Woodturning Week.
The scholarship call is the piece that gives the update its biggest reach. Applications are due July 6, 2026 for eight scholarships aimed at young women woodturners ages 20 to 40. The winner gets five days of tuition with Glenn Lucas, plus wood, daily lunches, tools, safety wear, and smocks for the week-long program scheduled for May 24 to 29, 2027 in County Carlow, Ireland.
This is not being framed as a basic intro class. The program is pitched as skill development, networking, and a meet-the-maker exhibition for emerging professional turners who want to sharpen technique and connect with peers. That matters in a field where access to hands-on time, good timber, and experienced tuition can shape whether a turner keeps going or stalls out after a few classes.
The broader archive around the announcement shows the program has momentum behind it. The first All-Women Woodturners Week ran in 2023 and brought together entrepreneurial woodturners from many countries. The 2025 edition shifted toward trainers in the field, which makes the 2027 scholarship feel like the next step in an established sequence rather than a one-off gesture.
Lucas’s own teaching setup explains why the newsletter ties media, tuition, and opportunity together so tightly. He teaches at his Woodturning Study Centre in County Carlow and offers classes, one-to-one tuition, a membership club, and downloadable videos. The summer update uses that full platform to keep attention on his instructional output while also opening a door for women who are building serious practices around the lathe.
For readers who follow Lucas for the tools, the teaching, or the next video to study, the post does more than sell another download. It points straight at a structured path into the craft, and the deadline on July 6 makes that path immediate.
