Perfect family project!

In this two-part workshop you will select a box and decorate it to suit your fancy, then assemble all the parts, string it up and learn a few chords and strums.

This workshop will be great for an adult and child, working together to create an instrument that sounds good and is easy to play.

Workshop fee includes:

Ukulele kit (next, bridge, saddle, strings and tuners)

Paint, stickers, decorations, glue

Lessons

A Lot of FUN.

This workshop is lead by Alan Mapes, a longtime supporter of Caffe Lena, volunteer and musician. Alan took up building guitars in his retirement and shares his love of music with the Caffe Lena School of Music where his granddaughter is a student. She plays a Cigar box uke they built together!
