Drum Making Workshop with Yolanda
Yolanda Martinez is from Las Cruces, New Mexico. She is an Artist, Singer, Composer, and Master Drum Maker.
In 1986 Spirit sent a message for her to make Drums. She made her first drum in 1987. This turned out to be a base drum made out of a redwood planter. She thought she had completed her task, and was ready to move on, WRONG! Great Spirit still kept after her to “MAKE DRUMS”!
Yolanda will hold a two day workshop.
Day One she starts the workshop by smudging everyone with Sage and opens the circle with an opening prayer. She introduces herself and tells how powerful an instrument that is about to be made. She will make a demo drum so that everyone has an idea of what they are about to make. Yolanda will then guide in creating the 16”
Cow drum. She brings all supplies and brings the Beater already done.
Day two she does a Drumming to Birth the Drums. This is the day you get to hear their Drums voice for the first time.
Participants learn how to play their Drum as not to be intimidated. People leave the workshop feeling elated, empowered, enlightened and creative. Day Two will be at a Medicine Wheel near Jamestown.
