Here’s a remarkable opportunity to work with a banjo building master, and come away with your own hand-made banjo.  Students will produce a functional piece of art, while learning  about the history of the banjo, and while gaining wood working skills.  No previous wood working experience is required.  Each student will make either a gourd banjo, an open tack-head banjo, or an akonting.  Through a watch and do approach, each student will be carefully guided through building their very own banjo.

You will come away from this class with your very own, custom-built (by you!) banjo, and the skills to make more.

Materials fee: (To be collected directly from students by instructor in class):  All materials included in course fee.
