The evening class has been successfully running since September 1986.It is a popular course within Stourbridge college. It is always over subscribed with students waiting for a place to become available. The course has enabled many frustrated violin makers to realise and achieve their aim of making either violin, viola and cello. In some cases students have gone on to make all three.

The enrolment is through Stourbridge College and runs on a Thursday evening from 7 to 9pm for three terms of 10 weeks each academic year.
