Sacred Spirit Drum Making Workshop

We welcome in the mystical Misty Dawn to guide us through the beautiful process. Misty has been making drums, rattles and other shamanic instruments for many years, we are excited for her spirit to teach us this sacred practice.

• 12 inch drums are a perfect travel size with more reverberation.
• 15 inch drums are great for longer periods of drumming and a beautiful size

Deer are associated with the heart chakra. It is the easiest hide to work with. They are nearly white in color, and have a great reverberation. However, they are finicky about damp weather. But, Misty will teach us a few tricks to help with this.

Elk are associated with the solar plexus chakra. These hides can vary in color from a light yellowish coloring, to a milk chocolate. The tone is a bit lower than deer, and very melodic. These drums usually take longer to dry after making than any other hide. But it is well worth the wait!

Prices for this class are based on the size of drum you wish to create—

12 inch $150

15 inch $190

You will be provided with all of the materials to create your drum, drum care instructions, sage, and a drum beater. If there are gems, herbs, or special small items you wish to add into the handle please bring them to the class.

NOTE: We have to order supplies by May, 15th. Please register before then if you are interested. Thank you!
