Whetstone School of Lutherie Details
We believe that instrument making is one of those endeavors in which you never really stop learning. To flourish as a luthier requires patience, practice, and a steadfast commitment to the process of ongoing improvement. Ultimately, our job is to provide you with a successful foundational experience that you can build on through practice, exploration, and future training.Our sole focus is teaching instrument making, and we've organized our school specifically for that purpose. The main classroom is spacious, comfortable, and has great light. Each student has their own workspace, and we provide all the tools and materials necessary to build your instrument. The machine room is fully equipped with finely tuned machinery, and a large capacity dust collection system. Our students tell us all the time, it's one of the nicest workshops they've ever seen.In the classroom you'll learn techniques and methods used by many of today's most prominent builders. We'll also teach you how to organize your process, think strategically, and work mindfully. Following this structured approach, you'll make a beautiful instrument that will give you a great sense of pride, and a lifetime of pleasure. For students interested in continuing their building practice, you'll also acquire the confidence and understanding you need to move forward successfully with your own projects.For most folks, the best way to learn how to make musical instruments is one-on-one with a seasoned instructor. Teaching the craft effectively involves listening, and observing, and skillfully guiding each person through the process. We limit enrollment in our building courses to just three students, so everyone has lots of personal interaction with their teacher. The result is a rich, interactive experience you simply can't get by building a kit, watching a video, or trying to go it alone.
