| Oxana and some delicious Cornholme community beans |
Heard the sound of the drums and ever wondered what it felt like to make that sound? Now's your chance guys! Oxana, from the Todmorden frame drum group will be running a couple of mini workshops for us at the Meet the Makers Market on October 5th. Six or so people can take part at a time and sessions will last about 30 minutes. All you need to do is turn up, preferably early on, and say you want to have a go. No obligation, just fun.
Oxana, who is originally from the Ukraine, loves to drum and she says frame drumming helps her connect to "the sources of power and joy within herself." Having listened to, and watched her drum for just a few minutes I thought it looked exciting, but soothing and gentle all at the same time. In fact quite enchanting! You don't have to be musical so I might even give it a bash (or should I say tap).
Oxana will also have details of all the sessions she runs in the community.
If you're wondering about the significance of the beans? Oxana works at the Old Library Community Hub in Cornholme and they've got beans (community beans taste better than supermarket beans)
Oh, my Goddess! What a wonderful write-up about the humble me! Yes, frame drums are absolutely enchanting. In fact, words cannot relate the reality of it, as you have to feel the sensation of vibrations going through your body. Magical. I am so looking forward introducing new people to Frame Drums at Making and Doing.
