Didgeridoo Making Workshop


Make your own Didgeridoo, from beginning to end. You do not have to be able to play the Didge (free lesson included) or have used power tools. Clive will show you how to make your very own didgeridoo in a 2 day course designed to be instructive, but most of all fun.

 

There are no guarantees, but as yet, everyone who has completed the course has left with a professional quality instrument that not only sounds beautiful, looks beautiful as well. All materials and tools provided (you will need to bring your own heavy boots, preferably Safety Boots) and includes coffee/tea and light lunch on both days. Maximum three people.
