About this Event

Welcome to the Didgeridoo Crafting Workshop!

Come join us at the Sacred Desert Sanctuary for a hands-on experience in creating your very own didgeridoo. Our skilled instructors will guide you through the process, from selecting the perfect eucalyptus log to mastering the traditional techniques of hollowing and shaping.

Whether you're a seasoned craftsman or a complete beginner, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to learn a new skill and connect with the ancient art of didgeridoo making. Don't miss this unique opportunity to craft your own musical masterpiece!

At this comprehensive PVC Didgeridoo Making workshop, participants will:

  • Receive all necessary materials and tools: Each participant will be provided with a complete set of high-quality PVC materials and specialized tools required to construct and personally decorate their own functional didgeridoo. This ensures a seamless and productive creative process from start to finish.
  • Benefit from supervised instruction: Al Hollinger, with his extensive experience, will offer step-by-step, supervised instruction throughout the entire didgeridoo-making process. Participants will receive personalized guidance and support, ensuring a rewarding and successful crafting experience.
  • Gain a basic lesson on how to play the didgeridoo: Beyond construction, the workshop includes an essential introductory lesson on didgeridoo playing techniques. Participants will learn fundamental breath control, vocalizations, and rhythmic patterns to produce the characteristic sounds of the instrument, allowing them to begin their musical journey immediately.
  • Access comprehensive information and have questions answered: The workshop provides an invaluable opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about the didgeridoo. Al will share fascinating historical, cultural, and technical insights, and a dedicated Q&A session will allow participants to ask any questions they may have, deepening their understanding and appreciation of this ancient instrument.

About your workshop facilitator: Al Hollinger

For three decades, Al Hollinger has dedicated himself to the profound exploration of sound transformation through indigenous instruments. His journey began with crafting and playing flutes, didgeridoos, and hand drums, driven by a deep fascination with how sound can profoundly and positively impact human well-being. This passion soon evolved into a desire to share these transformative vibrations with a wider audience. Al began facilitating immersive "sound bath" experiences, with the symphonic gong as the centerpiece, complemented by a rich array of other instruments. He firmly believes that music serves as a powerful ladder for the soul, offering a pathway to deeper connection and inner peace. Beyond structured workshops, Al also finds immense joy in sharing his extensive knowledge and experience through casual performances, dynamic collaborations with fellow artists, and engaging instrument-making workshops, fostering a vibrant community around the power of sound.
