Drum Making Course
Includes All Material: Approx 1.5 hours
Every culture has a drum, come learn the ancient art of making one of the most versatile cultural instruments.
There are 3 different styles of drums each class is at a different rate all drums are 12″ in diameter if a larger drum is desired arrangements must be made prior to class and will incur additional fees. I strongly advise the Earth Pigment Paint course prior to a Drum course. Drums are best painted with earth Pigment Paints while wet, if you want a painted drum please take the Pigment Paint course first.
