I’ll be hosting a Lee Valley Seminar on Violin Making on November 2nd (Friday) at their Vancouver Location (Marine Drive) from 9:30am to 4:30pm.  While not a hands-on session, I will be going over violin making history and steps.  I’ll also demonstrate some of the tools and basic violin making techniques.

You can read more about the seminar here.

Check out this inaugural Violin Making conference in Australia, titled the “Australian Luthier and Archetier Congress 2019” which will be held in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia from July 13th- 20th, 2019.  Bathurst is about a 2-3 hour drive from Sydney.

“Held from July 13th – 20th 2019 at The Scots School in Bathurst, NSW, Australia, this is promising to be a illustrious gathering of some remarkably talented and internationally renowned minds. The congress is the first international Luthier and Archetier gathering in the southern hemisphere. It is hoped that the congress will inspire, inform, connect and maintain the creativity and professionalism of all participants.”
