Canjo Workshop Craft, Create & Play with Mike Mouradian

Saturday, June 20th

1:30pm to 3:00pm

Discover the roots of American folk music in this hands-on, single-session workshop. Guided by instrument maker Mike Mouradian, you will build your very own Canjo—a simple yet soulful stringed instrument (traditionally known as a Diddlybow) crafted from a tin can and wire.

After assembling your instrument, you’ll have the chance to decorate it, learn its fascinating history, and join the class in playing your first song. No experience is necessary, and all tools and materials are provided. You’ll head home with a finished Canjo, a music and history pamphlet, and the satisfaction of having made your own music.

Dorodango: Japanese mud balls

Explore a natural, down- to- earth art that looks beautiful, is surprisingly easy and calms your soul. We will create together a sphere made from dirt which holds together on its own and resembles shiny marble. This class is great for all ages and ability levels. Class participants will create a one- of- a kind meditative mud ball.
