In this online workshop you will learn how to make your own drum using the supplies provided. Well-known drum maker Darren Charlie, from the Coast Salish tribe of Sts-ailes, weaves teachings and the meaning of the drum along with instruction. He explains what drums are used for, shares songs, and shows how drum-making is not just a craft, but is medicine for the people. All supplies are included. They must be picked up on campus the week before class.
