Salish Hand Drum Making Workshop September 2026

Tuesday, September 29th - 10:00am - 12:30pm 

Make a beautiful traditional Salish hand drum using deer hide and a cedar frame. The drum is not just a music maker, but a voice for the soul within the music. The drum is more than a musical instrument to those who own and play it, as it is considered to have a life of its own and is regarded as having its own powerful spirit. In some traditions the drum symbolizes the heartbeat and in others it represents the powerful medicine of thunder.

* Please note that the drum requires a day to dry before painting. You will have the option of either coming back the following day or to bring your drum home to paint.
