Becoming a Luthier

Becoming a Luthier

For my grade level project, I built a tenor ukulele. I learned how to use the necessary tools for the wood work, how to come up with the measurements, and made the construction plans to actually build the instrument completely without a kit. It took about nine months to fully finish!

My presentation showcases my final drawing portfolio. It is a selection from all of the architecture, sculpture, and portrait drawings that I have completed in the last year.

Testimonials

The advisors and staff are committed to helping students which I appreciated. I had a friendly relationship to all and I have throughly enjoyed my time at Avalon!

Alumn

Survey, 2023

I always tell people I wouldn't have graduated on time if I hadn't gone to Avalon.

Alumn

Survey, 2023

I think Avalon has always done an excellent job of empowering students to do the things they really care about and be themselves. During my time at Avalon I was able to truly explore what it meant to be myself and even do projects and get school credit for that work.

Alumn

Survey, 2023

Avalon supported me in expressing myself and exploring my identity as a high-schooler. The project-based model allowed me to dig deeper in academic areas I was more interested in, which ultimately helped me find my niche in the world today! I also feel Avalon was ahead of the curve on supporting and empowering LGBTQIA+ students.
