Ceramic Percussion Instrument Decoration and Finishing  CANCELLED

Didgeridoo Making CLOSED
Each student will make a didgeridoo. Understand the history of the instrument, make one to keep, and learn how to play it. Learn techniques to shape it and its mouthpiece to fit your mouth, then how to create textures, designs, and finishes on its surface to make it your own. The didgeridoos we make will have a great crisp sound. All materials to build a finished didgeridoo are supplied. Materials fee: $15. Limit 10 students, ages 16 and up (ages 14-15 with an adult). thomas-sterner@outlook.com Periods 1 & 2 ~ Thomas Sterner

Native American Flute Making
If you have ever been inspired by the haunting sound of the woodland flute of Native Americans, consider constructing your own personal cedar or cane flute under the guidance of an experienced craftsman. Your personal flute will be an ideal companion for personal meditation. Easy to play, you’ll enjoy hours of contented music-making alone or with other instruments. Students must be old enough to safely use power tools with instructions. Students should bring a Dremel tool with flexible shell and dental burrs and buffs, and dust masks or respirators. Materials fee $30-40, payable in cash only. Limit 8 students, ages 16 and up (ages 12-15 with an adult). See related class Native American Flutes and Flute Playing. tillrod@gmail.com Periods 1 & 2 ~ Robin Tillery
