In this immersive two-day woodworking workshop, participants will create a Native American style flute from raw wood to a finished, playable instrument. Guided instruction in the mornings covers design, shaping, and tuning, while afternoons are dedicated to focused individual work with support available as needed. No prior flute-making experience is required, and the class is welcoming to all skill levels. Each participant will leave with a handcrafted flute made entirely by their own hands and a deeper appreciation for the process behind this traditional instrument.
