Workshops

Following the success of the GOYT Craft Bodhrán Building Workshops across 2021-24, seeing dozens of fantastic 'GOYT Workshop' Drums being brought into the world, I'm looking forward to offering dates in March 2025. Being held at the new venue of the Youth & Community Centre, Longlands Road, New Mills.

********APRIL & OCTOBER 2024 NOW SOLD OUT!!!!!!******

Over 3 days, participants will learn the skills of Bodhrán construction; laminating plywood, using a router to profile bearing edges, marking and drilling for tuning hardware, finishing the shell with a shellac and wax, skinning the drum and completing the instrument with banding and tacks. It's a busy few days, and you will leave with a tuneable Bodhrán to cherish forever. The course price is £395, including all tools, materials, refreshments and tuition over the 3 days.
