Lets Make Some Music!
I have recently come to the conclusion that it is a shame to go through life without possessing at least some sort of musical capability, and therefore have decided to take on and explore the challenge, and the art of both building and playing hand built ceramic drums.
I will take aspects of many different drum techniques to inspire by own musical instruments, and functional ceramic vessels, ranging from Native American frame drum designs to African carved surface treatments, and djembe silhouettes.
Please keep in mind that this is my first attempt at both recording my artistic process, and creating a blog, so it may be a little shaky in the beginning, but hopefully something is learned and gained through the process.
I will be updating with my ponderings, progresses, and pictures hopefully at least once a week, so here it goes...
