Handcrafted Rawhide Drums & Drum-Making Workshops

tying drum

Based in Bigfork, Montana

Built slowly.


Made to be played.


Rooted in rhythm.

New drums, rattles, smudge fans, and workshop dates will be shared here as they unfold..

For the past five years, I’ve been creating ceremonial drums, rattles, and smudge fans by hand.

Each drum is created slowly and built to be played. Not displayed. Not stored away. Played.

Here you’ll find past work and the beginnings of what’s coming next.

Women Who’ve Held These Drums

Each drum carries a story. Here are a few.

Kelly

“Thank you for making this drum for me. It is absolutely beautiful — everything I hoped for. Knowing it was made on the full moon makes it even more special. I will honor and cherish this drum for the rest of my days and tell the story of who made it and where it came from.”

Christy

“I received my drum today, and it is even more beautiful than I imagined. And the tone — the tone is incredible. I can see why you would have wanted to keep it.

Thank you for creating exactly what my heart needed.”

Shannon

“I felt refreshed and grounded at your drum circle. Tina creates a space where women feel comfortable and at ease. When I’m there, I know I’m in a circle built on trust and respect.”

About Me

I've been making drums and holding circle for the past 5 years. 

 

What draws me back to it again and again is the simplicity, raw materials, steady hands, and people gathered around something real.

​I build slowly. I don’t rush the work. Each drum is shaped with care and meant to be used.
