Since 1986 the VSA has sponsored workshops in conjunction with Oberlin
College in Oberlin Ohio. The workshops offered every summer offer an
outstanding and important opportunity for violin and bow makers to learn
methods and subtleties in the art of making fine stringed instruments
and bows. The original Restoration Workshop was created by the noted
restorer Vahakn Nigogosian. Today there are five programs held during
the month of July, which offer in-depth instruction by a distinguished
faculty supplemented by renowned luthiers. The current programs are:
Violin Making (advanced level), Bow Making (advanced level), Intermediate
Bow Making, Setup and Acoustics.
