We offer an intensive guitar making course to international students of all background and ability. This course is offered with flexibility in mind. Depending on the availability and skill of each student, a guitar can be made in 4-5 weeks.

The standard hours would be Mon-Fri 10am- 5pm, for Four weeks, but these can be condensed or stretched to include attendance on our evening or weekend sessions. Previous students have made top quality guitars in a little over 3 weeks!

 

Our goal is not just to help you build one guitar but to give you the skills to continue developing as an instrument maker. We cover all the basics of.

​

• Basic woodworking and shop safety

• Tonewood supply and storage

• Tool sharpening

Class sizes are kept small and manageable so that each student can be guided not just as a group, but individually based on their own progress. Students are also encouraged to be creative with their instrument in terms of decoration. (time permitting). One of the other great aspects of this course is that students will get to socialise with each other and others attending the school. Its a great opportunity to explore the city of Belfast, its culture, music and vibrant nightlife.Most weekends during the course are also free so students can use the time to explore other parts of the country.Visit our Location page for more on this.
