How to request a city
Comment below with:
- Your city

That is all we need. These comments are what we use to decide where to look for an instructor next.
Are you a luthier who wants to run one?
If you build guitars or run a repair shop and want to run guitar building workshops in your city, email [email protected] with a bit about yourself and the city you would host in. Each workshop is organized and led by an independent luthier. You run the class; we supply the kits and help spread the word.
