Renowned instrument maker Jim Morris will teach workshop participants how to make and play a canjo, a single-stringed instrument with a soundbox made from a tin can.

In this two-hour workshop, students will delve into the history of string instruments and the science behind their musical sounds. Each individual will then construct their own canjo, a single-string, fretless instrument crafted from repurposed tin and aluminum cans with an attached neck. All necessary supplies and materials are provided, but participants are welcome to bring a favorite can if they wish.  

Once the canjos are complete, hang around to learn a few songs.
