Tsuga Gallery is pleased to announce our artist of the month for June, Floyd Young. Mr. Young was born and raised in Chicago. After high school he started college at Northern Illinois University, majoring in biology. He soon lost interest in college and took an interest in electronics. With the Vietnam war in progress, Young enlisted in the Air Force in 1973. With his electronics training, Young worked in avionics, primarily on F1-11s. Young was transferred to Las Vegas in 1975 where he was given temporary duty at the Airforce Arts and Crafts Center. At the center was a man teaching pottery, which caught the attention of Young. Young’s interest in pottery was strong enough that he soon became the teacher’s assistant. In 1977, Floyd became an adjunct faculty member and taught pottery and ceramics for the next 9 years. In 1987, he quit teaching and ventured out on his own, selling his work at art shows and through galleries. In 2002 he started teaching at a community studio, while still selling his pottery on the side. After 5 years at the community studio, he quit teaching and teamed up with a friend to do porcelain and low fire salt glazing. After a lengthy career with pottery, Young moved to Cathlamet in 2018, where he planned to retire. After a 7-year hiatus from the pottery, a chance encounter with a neighbor who was doing pottery, got him interested in pottery again. Floyd is one of the newer members at Tsuga Gallery. His pottery has a warm look and the earthy color tones make it very attractive. Stop by the Gallery and check out his work!

Drums made by Becky Ledtke: My drums are made the primitive old way, which is the right way to respect and honor the animal who contributed to the finished instrument.

The drum hoops are made from Maple Hardwood, the drum heads from Elk, Deer or Cow hides. I hand cut one continuous flow of lacing from the hide to tighten the drum head and create a comfortable handle so your hand can securely hold the drum.

I strive to make a quality drum which will have many deep and medium tones with harmonic vibrations, search for them as you learn to play and develop your own music. You can use the drumstick provided with each drum, fingertips or your hands to play your drum.

Drums should be displayed in your home at room temperature, do not
hang over a heater vent.

Each drum has been given a special name. If you would like to hear the story of how the name for your drum was chosen, send an email to:
[email protected]
I am grateful to the people in our community and beyond who will purchase and treasure my drums. Play your drum, create your own rhythms, join a drum circle group, the time spent drumming will become the good part of your daily life.........
