Workshops
DRUM MAKING
An opportunity alone or in a small group to birth a frame drum from a beautiful wooden hoop and rawhide deer skin. Occasionally other skins like horse or reindeer may be available.
The workshop will be over two days, preferably with a month between but can also be two consecutive days. The process is undertaken with great respect for the natural materials and part of our time will be preparing ourselves and the materials with an intention which is arrived at through enquiry and prayer.
Drums are usually 14 inch diameter but sometimes larger are available. Full support and instruction, materials and care directions will be given.
Drums must dry after their birth for at least a week but you will be invited to return to bless your drum at a later ceremony.
It is possible to arrange a drum making for your own group and at some times of the year it can be combined with staying in a hut or group camping.
Cost for a 14 inch drum making over 2 days is from £225
