BVMA during Covid-19: Halsway Workshop Week

Due to the Covid-19 restrictions during 2020, we unfortunately had to cancel many of our short courses. However, two ‘workshop weeks’ were organised at Halsway Manor in Somerset which took place whilst adhering to government restrictions in October 2020. The first week was focused on violin/cello making, followed by a second week, with some overlap of participants, for bow making and repair.

These are exciting pointers to what is being planned for our future: training, discussion, conferences, opportunities to meet up and to develop our skills in the coming years. We are thrilled with the Halsway venue, which comes with multiple options for accommodation (everything from a private room to camping!), catering and beautiful surroundings.

In week one we were very pleased to be joined for a few days by John Milnes, who documented our participants and Halway’s approach to the week. Watch his short film below.
