Join us as we make Gourd Rattles

In addition to drums, other sacred instruments are Rattles also known as shakers, they are an integral part to sacred practices and many cultures of the world.

Rattles may be used to accompany drums during a ceremony or help to keep the beat during rituals and secular festivities. The earliest rattles were made from animal hide and attached to a small wooden staff to hold. The rattles have traditionally been filled with very small rocks, seeds or grains. These instruments are often made of rawhide, gourds and tin cans.

All supplies are included in the workshop, however if there is some material (tree branch or antler) you would like to use as the handle, you are encouraged to bring it to the workshop.

You will have the option to fill with river stones, seeds or semi-precious gem chips.
