Drum Painting with Ojibwa Artist Kris Nahrgang

Sample Drum – before & after

For the first time we are offering a unique opportunity for our clients to paint their very own Indigenous-inspired hand-drums. During this exclusive painting experience Kris will use traditional storytelling to highlight the meaning and importance of various animals and images commonly found in Ojibwa Woodland School Art. Participants will be able to choose from a range of sample projects from the very basic, to highly detailed. Kris will guide everyone through the process of transferring the image from paper to hide, techniques for painting the black linework, colour selection and other embellishments. The hand drums are old school, with steamed white ash frames which are made from scratch. They are handmade in Quebec by Indigenous artisans. They are almost round (98%) and made with wild deer hide. These are very close to what a drum would look like from 500 years ago.
