Awaken your connection to rhythm with a Friday night campfire drumming musical jam session. Then join Master drum maker Allan Thomas on a journey of creation as we fashion our own drums to bring the spirit of percussion into our homes. Discover your energy and individuality as you craft your own drum. At the end of the workshop your drum and beater will be completed and ready for decorating. Participants will also benefit from instruction on the use of their new drum including an afternoon of journey work with Martha Lucier on a quest to find the spirit of the drum.
Additional activities including wild crafting, round out the weekend.
The drum hoop is laminated maple which provides a strong, light frame. The drumhead is split cowhide for uniformity and strength. The drumstick is Ash with a padded buckskin head. All materials are supplied. He teaches drum making, wilderness survival, nature awareness and is a student of mystery.
