LAWRENCE BORN<br />
Lawrence has a BA Hons in Industrial Design from Exeter, followed<br />
by a violin making course at Brighton. He has practised luthiery,<br />
(stringed instrument making) in his spare time since 1987, whilst<br />
pursuing a career in design and engineering but over the past few<br />
years has built a reputation and client base to the point where his<br />
interest has now become a full time vocation.<br />
This means Lawrence can apply a little more creative thinking and<br />
practical analysis to the art of musical instruments - and in particular<br />
electric and acoustic double basses - the design and detail of which<br />
has been in a state of flux since the Renaissance.<br />

‘Inside Of A Double Bass’<br />

Photo: Lawrence Born<br />
Hand made string and electric basses combine the Arts and Crafts in<br />
their most fundamental forms.<br />
The work on display shows the evolution of a bass guitar from the<br />
initial drawings through making of parts and ending with the finished<br />
instrument.<br />
Independent crafts practitioners have long been part of the make up<br />
of Letchworth and I hope to continue that tradition.<br />
