A Gilesgate-based shop and community facility, Hexham’s Core Music, launches a separate workshop where up to six people will be trained how to repair guitars and make ukuleles. The European Social Fund grant supported the project and has secured funds through the County Durham Communication Foundation to equip the workshop in Burn Lane.
According to Core Music, the workshop will serve as a training ground for participants to learn practical skills such as the use of hand tools and woodworking techniques, as well as communication, teamwork and problem solving skills.
