Mike Dangeli is a devoted artist, composer and dancer, cultural leader and teacher. Growing up in Southeast Alaska and graduating in Metlakatla, his foundation in culture and art came from his family’s feast and potlatches in British Columbia and Alaska. He further studied Northwest Coast art with several mentorships and apprenticeships from many master carvers. In this class, students will make drums using various methods of creation with the guidance of this master drum maker. Students will then practice formline design skills as they create a painted design to complete their own drum and bring it to life. This class is a Certificate of Merit elective credit. Previous Northwest Coast design experience is recommended but not required.
