Our interest is in training the next generation of luthiers. Put another way,
we are not going to help you build a guitar, we are going to teach you how
to teach yourself to build guitars. Our
methods are low-tech and hands-on, relying only on basic hand and small-scale
power-tools, and a few simple jigs. We want people to be able to start working
on their next instruments as soon as possible, with minimal investment in
tools and equipment. Many graduates have moved directly from this course
to building at a high level in their own shops. We hope to continue this
tradition and promote this wonderful craft into the future. On-site housing
is included for all students.
Special
workshops on guitar-building or related subjects, given by guest craftsmen,
are offered from time to time.
Since 2006 we have been involved in partnership with a Canadian and a Balinese
to build hand carved guitars in Bali. You can see more about that by visiting blueberryguitars.com and picasawab.google.com/vermontinstruments
