Meet the Maker – Fun by Music

Fun by Music

Sofia is my name and I love Sound!

I run Fun by Music for several years. Working with families is my best ground, and so, for Dublin Maker I will run an instrument making workshop, using mostly recycled materials.

The goal of the experience is to explore sound and material, see what sounds how when put where, and how. After experimenting, the participant will make a sounding craft to bring along the park and away. I will bring authentic instruments to compare and inspire, but focus is on discovery, sonority and invention. Participants are more than welcome (very encouraged) to bring clean items to transform into sounding designs.
