ONE-TO-ONE DRUM WORKSHOP

£270

Please select an estimated date for your drum’s birth. We will follow up by email to finalise the details

Before proceeding with this order, please take a moment to review the following information:

• You are welcome to bring a flat crystal or stone to be incorporated into the drum handle.

• During the workshop, we will create a drum in a specific style, with some individual customisations.

• I will prepare all materials and components a few weeks in advance. On the day of the workshop, your role will be to birth the drum.

• The drum handle will be made using lace from the same hide. Please do not bring antlers or wooden handles. This type of drum-making style will not be taught during the workshop, as it is considerably more complex. If you have never birthed a drum before, this style would be too challenging to learn in one day.

• Please note that late arrivals (up to a maximum of one hour) will need to be rescheduled. Kindly respect your responsibility to arrive on time.

I work with Deer and Water Buffalo hides during the drum birthing workshop. In the absence of top predators in the UK, such as wolves, bears or lynxes, the wild deer population rise each year to the levels that have deleterious effects on the rest of the ecosystem. To try and manage this, unfortunately, the solution that is currently in place here in the UK is to cull the deer. While the meat does enter the venison trade, the vast majority of the hides are discarded, which is extremely sad. Giving a new life to the spirit of the fallen animal in the form of a Drum is a truly beautiful way to honour his/her spirit one last time. The Drum will then share the medicine and wisdom with whoever works with it. I also import ethically sourced Reindeer hides from Sweden. Despite this, I am always searching for alternatives and would be happy to find a vegan-friendly option, but so far, all I have come across are synthetic materials(plastic), and that is simply not my path.

WHAT IS INCLUDED:

• A fully guided Shamanic drum workshop

• Drum and a drum beater

• Drum card which explains how to care for your drum and what was customised

• Ceremony at the end and some snacks will be provided for lunch, but if you have any dietary restrictions, please bring some food with you.

• The remaining payment can be made by card on the day which is my preference over cash

1. Size of your Drum

2. Hide of your drum

3. Hand dyeing of the hides ( I always use natural dyes for this process. Unfortunately, I do not accept specific requests regarding the types of herbs that can be used to hand-dye the hide, as I work exclusively with what I have in stock. )

4. Any additional information

5. Do you have any medical conditions I need to be aware of?
