Heart Strings: Canjo Workshop

Warm your heart by crafting a unique up-cycled instrument! Last year we made frame drums. This year, artist-in-residence, Dave Stocker is back to lead Origins of Music workshop #2: The CANJO. Also known as a diddly-bow, the canjo is related to the Berimbow of Afro-Brazilian roots. We provide tools, materials and art supplies. Please bring a cleaned out can 14 oz-30 oz, a limited number will be available. Children under 10 need parent assistance to decorate and assemble.

 

Please register for the number of canjos that you or your group would like to make so we can prepare supplies. This is a come-and-go event from 10:00am-1:00pm. Canjo creation takes approximately one hour. 

 

We invite you to choose the particiption fee that is most accessible to you, either $15, $25 or $35 for your instrument.  Your participation fee helps offset our cost of supplies and staff time.
