Bodhrán Making Workshop

We are delighted to have Cliste facilitate a Bodhrán making workshop in our outdoor covered courtyard as part of Crúinniú.   Cruinniú is a national day of free creativity for children and young people under 19. 

In this workshop, participants will construct and complete a bodhrán entirely from scratch while engaging with Irish Culture and music.    All materials provided.  This workshop is broken down as follows.

·      Build from raw materials:   Each participant would receive a frame, goatskin, crossbars and tacks and would be guided step by step to create a fully functional bodhrán. 

·      Personalise  your instrument:  Once completed,  they will get to personalise their instrument by decorating their bodhrán with a design of their choice.   Please feel free to bring your own markers, pencils etc. 

·      Learn To Play:  The workshop concludes with a lively lesson in traditional Irish jigs and reels.  This programme blends craftmanship, creativity, and tradition,…
