Custom Workshops for Groups

Usually we have a drumming circle the night before the drummaking to let people experience the different feelings created by the size and skin of drums.

The drummaking itself usually takes about three hours when we begin from a kit. When we start from scratch, we allow a full day to construct the drum.
Many workshops include participants making their own individual drums, while others, such as the one shown here, pool everyone's energy to make a larger, ceremonial drum for the group.

 Both the "mechanics" and the ceremonial are taught, and the energies of the different animals and trees are covered in depth.

Rattle making is also often included in the weekend, and occasionally we add dreamcatcher making. 
 

If you have a group that wishes to make drums or rattles, we can custom design a weekend workshop for your group.  Contact us to arrange a workshop in your area.
