INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF BLUES FOUNDATION-ATLANTIC CITY

Upcoming workshops at the Noyes:

HANDS-ON VISUAL ART PROJECT: SWEET MUD PAINTING
Utilizing the technique made famous by renowned folk artist, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, participants will create original art using a media known as “Sweet Mud,” a combination of beach sand and syrup, with added pigmentation. In the tradition of folk art, participants will paint on recycled materials such as cardboard, wood and, here at the Jersey shore, driftwood. Wear your old clothes!

HANDS-ON PERCUSSION WORKSHOP
Facilitated by percussionist Michael Hoebler, this workshop will focus on Afro-Cuban rhythms and drums, and participants will learn the basic techniques of hand drumming, utilizing a variety of different instruments. An instrument-building component will teach participants how they can build their own instruments out of found and recycled materials.
