Tristan Cole-Falek is a musician, luthier, and craftsperson known for making sawdust by day and music by night. Although he’s been around the world with his stand-up bass, most days you can find him at his home shop on the Gaviota Coast, where his passion for form and function finds expression in a myriad of figured timbers. His close relationship with the material and thoughtful approach to craft create space for a deeper understanding of the making and what it is to be a “maker.”
