Drum & Rattlemaking Workshops in Champaign Urbana
CRESCENT MOON RATTLES Honor the moon with a beautiful, fur trimmed crescent shaped rattle! On the first day of class you will sew/tie your rattle using deer or elk rawhide. On the second day, once the rattle has dried, you will fill and decorate your rattle. A variety of pleasant sounds are possible, depending on the choice of filling for your rattle. Traditional fillings include corn, beans, shell chips, or small pebbles. Bells will also be available if you want more jingle. All materials are provided - but you are welcome to bring your own stick for the handle and anything special you would like to add to your rattle. (allow 2.5 hours each on two days).
