My goals with the workshops

As a teacher of Luthiery, my goal is to give my students the skills they need to confidently work on stringed instruments successfully. I feel Luthiery is part fundamental skills and part art. Having strong fundamental skills (sanding, chisel work, etc.) allows the art to flow. I enjoy building fine instruments and successful Luthiers :)

As a Luthier, my goal is to hone my techniques and art through teaching. Sometimes teaching leads to inspiration to build or improve jigs or processes.

As a business owner, one of my goals is to be able to provide the tools I make or use at a more affordable price. When you take my workshops, I provide some of the tools I use in the cost of the workshops. I feel this makes it easy to keep doing the work after the workshop. I also offer student discounts and pricing on tools and hardware. 

If you would like to schedule a workshop or have questions, please call or email. Workshops for non-locals can be done over Zoom.
