This workshop given by the lute maker Martin Hurrtig will be a very special experience for children and young people. He will demonstrate the many different types of lute and the various techniques of playing them. In addition he will give the young people the opportunity to see how lutes are built and get to know the various materials – different types of wood, glues and lacquers – used in the process. The young people will have the opportunity to try their hands at using various techniques.
