LUTHERIE 2012

Barnbygate Methodist Church Barnbygate, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG24 1PX
The Lutherie spring seminars were started in 1998 by Robert Cain, a Luthier and Teacher at the Newark School of Violinmaking.
The purpose is to provide a unique event which brings together people from all backgrounds, to share ideas, make useful contacts and have a bit of fun. The seminars are run on the following principles:-
|
|
Minimum consumption and wastage of resources. The seminar is run on a shoestring with help from volunteers, friends and a few paid helpers. Its a bit rough around the edges but incredible value.
|
|
|
Seminar funds, where possible, are directed towards a nominated charitable cause. Past beneficiaries have included the Rowan Armour- Brown Trust, Luthiers sans Frontiers UK and the Haiti Music Schools.
|
|
|
Speakers are invited from diverse backgrounds. Some controversial, some pillars of the establishment.
|
|
|
The Seminar should be accessible to everyone whether amateur, professional, student or just interested.
|
LUTHERIE is run as an independent venture but receives valuable help from Newark College who lend their Car park, furniture and technical equipment.
