Vera WILLEMYNS
I came to violin making after a long journey. As a music lover, I studied viola at the Manuel de Falla Conservatory in Buenos Aires and played in various orchestras. Fascinated by craftsmanship and the sound of string instruments, I studied instrument making and restoration at the violin-making school in Cremona, Italy, followed by several internships across Europe.
Based in Brussels, I worked with several luthiers and, from 2021 to early 2024, shared a workshop with Denis de Fauconval. One of our collaborations was a five-string double bass inspired by a Gagliano model. Now based in Saint-Gilles, I focus on instrument making and restoration.
In 2024, I participated in the EKHO exhibition in Brussels and in the Bandenburg workshop.
