Learn to construct a traditional style frame drum. Each participant will start with raw materials. They will cut, glue, sand and assemble a 10 segment frame with basswood responsibly sourced and milled from the grounds of the Avon Hills Folk School.

The second day we will cut, stretch and lace a natural elk rawhide head on the frame while learning how to maintain and care for your new drum. After drying overnight, students will gather on day three to try out their newly crafted frame drum.
