There have been so many canjo workshops at this point that I can't even count how many have gone out into the world. I have done them with young people, old people, in workshops and at festivals. Here are a few photos from the past couple of years:

| A cross-studio workshop also at Haystack Mountain School of Craft 2017 |
There are other workshops but I either did not document them well or I can not find the photos. Oh, well. Suffice it to say that I have sent hundreds of these things into the world at this point. Democratize Making!
I have also made a
pdf handout. Feel free to download, print, and disseminate widely! Canjos bring so much joy for so many reasons: They are easy to make, they are (relatively) easy to play, and they are, after all silly and delightful.
What you're doing with the public - sharing the joy of building and playing handmade musical instruments - is a beautiful thing. And your downloadable canjo PDF is terrific!
ReplyDeleteSO glad it's helpful! Make 'em and play em!
