Hand Drum Workshop
Create your own Hand Drums, constructed on a 14” maple drum frame. Choose from hides of Elk, Buffalo, or Moose, which are stretched over the frame while wet and then tighten when dried. This workshop is limited to ten participants. A drum beater is included in the workshop fee, and the workshop can last from 3-5 hours.
All workshops begin with a smudging ritual prior to working with our hands. Once enough drums are created, participants will be invited to a drum circle to learn to use their drums. This will be by donation only.
Ages: Ages 16+
