Craft in Focus: Learn about violin making, hands-on!

In this workshop you will learn about violin making: the construction of violins, how they are made from scratch, what materials, wood and tools are used.

You will learn some basic steps to make a part of a violin: prepare a small part of wood to draw a shape of a violin and then design an f-hole, prepare it, cut it by saw and carve it, The finishing touch is varnishing and coloring your shaped piece of wood, before proudly taking it home.
