Well-Made Object Workshop
Online Workshop: Mini Drum Making with Alexander Erickson Sr.

This online workshop is available only in Canada.
Saturday, June 19, 2021, 1 - 3 pm

Drums carry a large importance within all Indigenous cultures across Canada. They are used for ceremonies and symbolize the heartbeat of Mother Earth. While there are many different techniques for drum making, the use of hide and a wooden frame stays consistent. In this online workshop, learn how to make two small 3 to 5” drums with Indigenous artist Alexander Erickson Sr.  

Alexander Erickson Sr. is an artist from the Haisla and Dakelh Nations, from the Beaver clan. Currently, he lives with his family on Coast Salish Territory known as Coquitlam. He takes inspiration for his work directly from his Haisla lineage and the world around him. Alexander enjoys creating original pieces as well as developing the story attached to them.
