Are luthiers craftspeople, artists, both, or something else?


This video features interviews with Benjamin Liggett, Llyod Prins, Will Skarstad, Casey Marshall, Larry Hefner, Lou Lynch, and Robert Isley as part of our current exhibition "A Luthier's Tale: The Craft of Stringed Instruments."



Guest curator Benjamin Liggett brings together local and regional makers in an exhibition dedicated to the art, craft, and design of stringed instruments. Following his training at the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix, Arizona, Liggett became a full-time luthier at Bishline Banjos. He now works full time at Liggett Guitars. Liggett conveys his passion for creating instruments in this exhibition, which is a survey of stringed instruments from a variety of luthiers that represent the culture and craftsmanship of our region. With a documentary of the making process, a wide range of educational programs, and a multitude of performances, this show shines a light on this incredible craft.
