Great news! The 2nd annual Berkeley Gourd/Tackhead Banjo Making workshop has
been scheduled for June 4th - 8th. There will be a brief orientation on the
evening of the 3rd to prepare us for the week ahead.
Last year was a huge success and we all had a great time making banjos.
Students have the option of making either a gourd banjo or open back tackhead
banjo. Each instrument is designed specific to your own design and needs. No
previous wood working experience required.
The class will be held at the Caning Shop and hosted once again by Jim Widess.
The location is 926 Gilman St. Take a peak at the below link and you will see all
about the Caning shop and see a photo of class of 2011. Plus there is a link to
the workshop poster with further details.
