I am thrilled to say that our workshops schedule is heating up for the month of October! 9th Vibration in Guelph will be hosting a workshop on Thanksgiving Weekend and Visible Voices Open Art Studio in Haliburton are hosting drum and instrument making the weekend after that. Then it is off to Sudbury , well Chelmsford actually just outside of Sudbury, for a two day workshop making instruments of all kinds, all materials.

The Ocean Drum is a percussion instrument that can produce soothing sounds which sound just like the ocean. The drum is held by the frame with the heads horizontal and play by rolling the wrists so the drum gently tilts in all directions. Different speeds produce different sounds. Starting and stopping suddenly creates crashing wave sounds.
I thought you might like to see a picture of the Ocean Drum. My friend Wanda took this picture. Didn't she do a great job? Many workshop participants at the Sudbury workshop will be making ocean drums. It sounds like the ocean! Really!
The latest creations available for sale are these super cool long rattles made from hard shelled gourds. They make quite the statement. Both rattles have a gentle and very pleasant che, che, swoosh, swoosh sound to them. You know what I mean right?
