Course Description
Out of the Attic and Into the Hand: Part 2
During this week of instruction, students will learn how to safely remove old hair from a bow and put fresh hair back onto the stick. Please note that Part 1 is not a prerequisite course, but you will need bows that do not need repairs listed in the Foundational Bow Repair course, most notably bows that have cracked or damaged tip plates.
Skills learned/topics include:
- Scanning stick with client
- Basic cleaning/polishing of stick
- Selection and proper storage of horsehair
- Business tips on running a shop (setting up your bench/insurance)
- Discussions about sustainable options for stick and hair ( synthetic hair/composite vs. wood bows) for schools, students, and professionals
