We will be making drums, rain sticks, and other instruments out of recycled materials. Make an instrument with us and then bring it along to May Day the following weekend!
We have some recycled materials available. You are also welcome to optionally bring your own from home (large empty soup cans or 5 gallon buckets work well).
All ages are welcome!
Note that at May Day, John Hayden will be leading a drum circle! So get your upcycled instrument ready at this workshop to join in the fun. More about John:
