RAW Instrument-Making Workshop: Learn to make your own instrument in 2 days!

A 2-day workshop on Raw Instrument making held at Starseed Gardens in the Art Studio, a pleasant work space equipped with all the necessary tools and know-how, led by local musician and inspired maker Rob Dibble. What are Raw Instruments? Found, and recycled elements such as biscuit tins, oil cans, hardwood tomato stakes etc properly strung to resemble distant cousins of banjos, violins, cellos, whatever you want. The sounds these RAW instruments produce is nothing short of amazing! They can be electrified with a "pick-up" and played through an amp to surprising effect.

What participants need to bring; 
Creative ideas, a willingness to explore, a can-do attitude and should you have a cool old biscuit tin or oil can, any striking bits of wood or recycled whoop-de-doos that you think could be included in your instrument - bring them along. The materials are included, but you may choose to customize your raw instrument with whichever element you bring along. A RAW lunch will be provided both days, and camping at Starseed is available for 25$ per day. (BYOT-bring your own tent, hot showers, WIFI and kitchen included) Message me below if you are interested in camping with us as space is limited.
COST: $150 for both days including meals and concert

All participants will leave the workshop with their instrument in hand, and a free ticket to the RAW JAM session in The Lotus Teahouse featuring talented local musicians (TBA)
