After a fortnight helping to make #GNUF19 @NorthernUke happen it's back to the workshop. Next up on the bench are some custom builds for UK customers and materials prep for my Diddley Bow workshop at @Summer_Strum

Today our festival director is doing exciting things at her job. She's passionate about the way that questions around tech, learning and access converge with our community and festival work.
Excited about today's TEL seminar. @MarenDeepwell and @nerdymak will kick off a discussion with Tamsin Hinton-Smith on 'Technology and Education: opportunities and challenges for equality'. sussex.ac.uk/tel/seminar/tec… We'll tweet with #SussexTEL hashtag.

Just back from Finland where I gave a talk about luthiery at the excellent Tropical Winter Ukulele Fest. Highly recommend that fest.
