Craft Your Own Rawhide Drum & Drumstick

Join me for a half-day drum-making gathering where you will create your own 15" or 18" rawhide drum and drumstick.

We begin in circle with drumming, taking time to clear our energy and center ourselves before we begin. We honor the directions and acknowledge the life of the animal that gave its hide, offering tobacco and spoken gratitude.

​​Before we start lacing, you’ll take a few minutes to set your intention for what this drum will carry. You can write or paint your intention directly onto the wooden hoop.

​​From there, we move into the steady work of building.

​​You will stretch the hide, lace your drum, and bring it to life with your own hands.

You will leave with something built to last and meant to be used, shared, and passed on.
