The Rowan Armour-Brown Memorial Trust Fund seeks to maintain the high standard of violin making and restoration in Britain. It offers support to students of violinmaking at UK colleges or those undertaking apprenticeships, in the following ways:
-
•Financial grants which help towards the purchase of wood or tools, or fund specialised additional training
-
•Distribution of tools and wood that have been donated to the Trust to students who can make good use of these materials
-
•Work experience placements with established craftsmen, which gives students the experience of working in a professional environment
Since the inception of the Trust in 1999, we have helped over 100 students from all over the world. Many of these students are now significantly employed in the trade, either on their own account or with leading shops and makers. A number of the early award winners are now offering work experience placements to current students in their turn.
