Join Janice Telfer and Fiona Milton for an evening of traditional drum-making.

It is common in Líl̓wat tradition to gift the first drum you make to someone else. With that in mind, we recommend you attend the workshop with a friend - you can each make a drum and gift it to each other. All participants will be creating a 12" drum. 

Cost of supplies for this workshop has been subsidised through the BC Arts Council Arts Impact grant.
