Violin maker Christoph Götting was the overall winner in The
Balvenie Masters of Craft awards, a new awards programme set up to
celebrate craftspeople in the UK. Götting, who is based in
Hampshire, trained in Mittenwald and worked as a restorer at
J.&A. Beare in London for 21 years. He started his own violin
making business in 1990.
The Balvenie Masters of Craft awards were created by the distillery
behind the Speyside single malt whisky The Balvenie. The judging
panel included TV presenter and author Kevin McCloud. Alongside the
wood category, which was won by Götting, there were awards for
glass and ceramics, textiles, leather, stone and metal.
