School of Violin Making, String instrument education center in Newark, England
The School of Violin Making occupies a former bank building constructed in Italian Gothic style with distinctive architectural features at Kirkgate in Newark.
Originally built as the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Bank in 1887, the structure underwent transformation into an educational institution for violin making in 1972.
Students at the School of Violin Making learn traditional craftsmanship methods through specialized programs that maintain the heritage of string instrument construction.
The institution provides foundational and advanced courses in violin making and repair, offering a BA in Musical Instrument Craft for full-time students.
The building's adaptation from a nineteenth-century bank to a violin-making school represents successful preservation of Grade II listed architecture for educational purposes.
