Make a Drum Workshop – Jim Ransom

Monday March 17 5:00 to 8:30, AND Wednesday March 19 6:00 – 7:00

Participants will receive a bisque-ware drum made by Instructor Jim Ransom. On the first day of the workshop, you’ll glaze your drum then watch it get pulled red-hot from the kiln and immersed in woodchips, smoke and flames. When it cools, you’ll attach the leather drumhead. Two days later, return for a shorter session to finish the drum and try it out. All materials to complete a drum will be provided as well as a demonstration on throwing a drum barrel. For raku-fire safety, wear non-synthetic clothes and closed-toe shoes; KN95 masks will be available for the smoke.
