Growing up in a family of guitar makers, Joshia de Jonge was thirteen when she built her first guitar in 1992. What began as an interesting pass-time has grown into a life’s passion of honing her craft. She learned her craft primarily from her father, Sergei de Jonge, and also spent time with Géza Burghardt, who taught her French polishing. She now resides in the Gatineau Hills of western Québec, Canada, where she enjoys balancing guitar work with raising her boys and spending time in the garden.
