This is a new event at The Sawmill Center for the Arts. Join us for a day of music and fun as we make and play homemade instruments - some from unusual and recycled items.
(Can you make a guitar using a cigar box? We'll have a class to show you how.) There will be "jamming" and entertainment to make the day enjoyable for musicians
as well as listeners. You might be surprised to see items with which music can be made. |
