To best meet students’ interest in learning the French traditional method of bow making in its entirety—stick, frog and button—master bow makers, teachers, and colleagues Lynn Armour Hannings and George Rubino alternate summers at SCVMW. In 2018, Lynn Armour Hannings will teach. In this hands-on workshop, participants learn about the entire process of bow making. The workshop covers design, weight/balance, materials, tips, tool usage, finishing, and more.
Workshop Dates
The bow making workshop is held very year in June. There are two one-week sessions running Monday through Friday; students may register for either session or for both. See this year’s dates.
Daily Schedule
Workshop hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm with a lunch break at noon. The facilities are open in the evenings and on weekends for participants who wish to continue working on their own.
