Create a beautiful, double-sided ocean drum! It’s filled with glass beads that mimic the sound of the ocean when played with peaceful intent. Teaching Artist Darcy leads you through all the steps to make a drum with a maple hoop and double-sided hide. Note: this class uses real animal hide for the drum; the hide animals were harvested sustainably and with respect. The instrument you create makes an extraordinary, unique gift. All supplies included. Please enter through the 5th Street door.
