This will be a two-part workshop taught by Duane L. on making a gourd rain stick. In part one of this workshop (May 8th) we will be cutting our gourd open, cleaning out the inside and installing the bamboo skewers.
In part two of this workshop (June 12th), we will fill our gourds with a special blend of rice, peas, beans, and lentils. We’ll then seal the gourd up and prepare the gourd for the final design of choice.
If you have any questions, please call Duane L. at 459-3211.
