Introduction to Craft Practice Guitar is a fully workshop‑based foundation course designed to give learners the essential practical skills, behaviours, and confidence needed to begin a journey in traditional or contemporary guitar making and other forms of fine craft.
This one-year, full cost, Foundation course can provide students with the opportunity to develop the underpinning skills and knowledge preparing them for progression or employment.
The course is entirely hands‑on: no written assignments, no parallel subjects -just focused, supported, skill‑building work at the bench.
This foundation year aims to nurture intuitive craftsmanship, respect for materials, safe and competent tool use, and the slow, attentive habits that underpin all high‑level making.
Initial assessment at enrolment.
Please note, the Foundation courses are for adults 18+
There are no formal examinations for this course. Assessment is continuous and based on practical skills in making and adapting to the workshop environment, evaluated through tutor observation. In addition, a peer evaluation will be completed, and a summative assessment will be completed through a portfolio of tasks completed throughout the academic year.
