We hope you are up and running at full capacity again. We also hope you are eager to come back to the Charleston area and have fun learning and ringing with other ringers!
We love having folks come to our workshop with enthusiasm and excitement to learn more about the art of Handbells.
There is a lot of work and planning that goes into the Lowcountry Handbell Workshop and we are working diligently to make this a workshop to remember!

Classes will be leveled by Tins and Coppers
We will go back to our leveled workshop format. Music will be chosen in Level 2 (Tins), Level 3 (Coppers) and Massed Ringing Level 2+. Four pieces total for each group.

An on-site workshop tailored to your needs might be just what you are looking for. Fees depend on length of workshop and number of Palmetto Bronze ringers needed to do the workshop.
