Handicraft school

As a retired engineer with a love of guitars my daughter thought I should actually make one. Without her push I would probably have left the dream of doing that just a dream. But she bought me a starting package as a birthday present and I could not be a happier dad. Working with Andrew was a fantastic experience and he taught me so much. Working with guitar woods to create a finished guitar is something very special. From these woods, and with Andrew's help, you build the many components to make something you eventually hold in your hands and play, and it is unique and beautiful, and it sounds so good when you finally play it. This is a great thing to do. And with the help and knowledge provided by the school it is, I think, a certainty that anyone who wants to do this is going to achieve it.

Friday evening Wrap. Sit and craft with like-minded people, whilst enjoying snacks and nibbles. Cost $8, bring your project to work on most pleasant.

Hi Poonam, Thank you for your help in regards to the alterations (it was quick and upto the mark) and also craft training for my daughter, it was worth it and I would contact you back soon for any relevant work.

Wonderful workshop, friendly people, beautiful products!

I don't think there really is anything more satisfying in this life than building your own amazing guitar. It doesn't matter if you have never picked up a chisel or a plane before, or even if you already own some lovely instruments, it is about the experience and personal reward of building something truly amazing and absolutely unique. I look at my first guitar build and I still can't quite believe that I made it. The fact that the volume and tone easily beat my handmade Yamaha and Asturias guitars is an unexpected bonus. I take my hat off to Andrew, he is a most excellent tutor with the patience of a saint. If you have a guitar, but want something better, built to state of the art designs, or would just like to experience the satisfaction of creating it, then sign up for classes. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Super and awesome.

Its a really lovely environment for kids to be creative and use tools they normally wouldnt have access to at home, under the skilful guidance of Emily and Helen who are lovely. My 4 year old son loves attending regularly and its fantastic for his fine motor skills.

Professional and caring staff. Great sense of community and purpose in the CECC.

The ladies at Make and Meld hosted a wonderful birthday party for my daughter. The activities were enjoyed by everyone and kept all the girls entertained. Would highly recommend them.

Good learning environment, well-structured, project-based approach and passionate teachers. Kids love the art works they get to create there.
