After a few years of disruption, due to Co-Vid, social distancing followed by BNU refurbishing it’s workshops we have returned to our natural home at Bucks New University in High Wycombe. After two trail weekends and a very successful summer school week we are now planning a return to our regular weekend programme, starting on the 30th September 2023.
Many new instruments have been started and completed including, Torres/Taylor classical guitars, various ukuleles based on designs and drawings by our founding Zachary Taylor, Baroque guitars, Lutes both 6 and 7 courses, and a symphonie.
With now more regular sessions we are looking forward to completing many more instruments and hopefully welcoming new makers to the group.
After several years of weekends and an annual summer school in 2026 we are trialing mid-week sessions as opposed to the regular weekend workshop sessions there are several reasons for this, primarily its easier for ourselves and the staff at BNU. We will see how this develops it may well be that a blend of weekend and mid-week sessions is the way forward.
