Description
Shape a beautifully sonorous, colouful, chunk of wood, so it perfectly fits your hands, and hammer steel tines to pluck out your own tones. Excercise the whole of you, hands, heart and soul.
Over the course of a day, use traditional hand tools, saws, rasps, hammers and chisels, and learn to craft a unique lamellaphone that will sing your song. These are such wonderfully personal, meditative instruments, and evan a simple scale of a few notes can play endlessly complex, hypnitic patterns.
Really enjoyed finding a new talent and the joy of making something original from a piece of wood.
Inspired by traditional African Mbiras and Ikembes, our plucky pianos will be simpler experiments in finding a voice: Play with the materials and choose interesting ways to let them express melody. Carve a piece of wood that speaks to you, add vibrating percussive elements, wire and sew it all together and by the end of the day perhaps we’ll all be following the same rhythm.
The class cost of £85 includes all tools, materials, ample tea, coffee and shared snacks.
