Class Clapsticks Set (4 sets)
Clap Sticks are a traditional percussive instrument used for ceremony, social dancing, making music and to educate through storytelling. As for many traditional tools, they can serve more than one purpose, like also being used to dig for yams.
With the techniques passed down from his family, Russell Yilamara hand paints each set of our clapsticks using traditional Arnhem Land styles such as x-ray and rarrking and ochre colours. Not only can these instruments be used for a percussive instrument, but also as a teaching tool to understand the richness of Australian Indigenous life and culture.
Our Class Clapstick Set is designed to allow children to engage in traditional music, sharing in the experience, and to allow conversations to begin in a group setting. Especially made for young hands as they have a 3 cm diameter, they provide a wide grip.
The set comes in Songlines ochre red cotton duster bags to keep them protected while not in use.

Awaken depicts the rising of the sun on a new day over Country, the sun is the giver of life and provides Mother Earth with light and warmth. When the rains come, the sun’s rays create the magic of rainbows. From the rain comes waterholes, these sustain life and are some of our sacred places where knowledges are kept and shared. Awaken is the dawning of a new day, the connections we have to our Country and the importance of Mother Earth.

These clapsticks are amazing and our children love them. The artwork is stunning and I just love the natural earthy ochre colours and patterns. We have had so much rich learning experiences with them and will continue to do so. Highly recommended!
