Summer Medicine Drum Making
with Nate Long and Jason Traweek
MEDICINE DRUM MAKING IN A SACRED WAY
The making of drums for the purpose of Shamanic work has been done for centuries. Making the drum with proper intent and integrity is necessary when bringing such a wonderful ally and tool into this world.
This workshop is being offered by Nate Long with Blue Eye Art, Jason Traweek with Spirit Lab Music and with the support of the Shamanic Community of Austin.
A $75 class fee is being asked in addition to the cost of the drum kits. To secure your spot, please 1) RSVP through Facebook or through the Austin Shamanic Community Meetup event and 2) make payment to Nate Long. Please paypal to: PayPal.Me/blueeyeart/75 (or arrange for other payment options.
There will be a limit of 20 attendees for this class, so register soon (a waitlist will be started if needed).
Each attendee will need to order their drum kit online, to have delivered before July 26th. Soaking the rawhide for 4 to 12 hours just before class is required. We suggest allowing a week for delivery, so order before July 18th. You will be responsible for ordering your own drum kit and having it delivered to you to bring to the class. Drum kits will range in cost between $80 and $180 depending on size and type of rawhide. You can contact either Nate or Jason directly if you have questions about what to order. Order online from either:
or from other online suppliers (we recommend these sites because they seem to treat their products with respect).
A highly recommended Blessing and Awakening Ceremony will be held on Monday, July 30st at 8:00pm at Clear Springs Studio. Additional information will be provided to those who attend the Drum Making class.
