FALLEN BRANCH LIMB FLUTE MAKING WORKSHOP
The Tahlequah Native American Flute
Circle at the Cherokee Heritage Center will be hosting flute makers John
Suttles(the Ozark Guru), Amos Fleetwood, Harold Ruckman, and Dale
Robertson of Fallen
Branch Flutes with fellow
flute maker Joyce Barnes, Coordinator of the TNAFC in a free
workshop on the art of hand crafting a Native American style flute from
fallen tree branches.
In this seminar John, Amos, Harold, and Joyce will
be giving demonstrations on the hand tools, techniques, and time it
takes to make one of these beautiful flutes. Due the time it
takes to complete a branch flute from start to finish there will be
flutes in various stages of completion to better
demonstrate the processes. Split branches and various tools will
be available along with supervision from John, Amos, Harold, or Joyce
for anyone who would like a more hands on experience during this
workshop. There will be sketches and construction procedures
available along with the branch flute you work on to take home.
