About this Workshop
Pinch, coil, slip and score your way into crafting your very own instrument out of clay. Learn the fundamentals of hand building by making an ocarina or whistle in this 3 hour workshop taught by Isabella Jansen. Discover how size affects pitch and experiment with adding holes to create more notes. Decorate your functioning ocarina with stamps, carved details, or even disguise it as something else!
Clay and firing of one piece (max 6″x6″x6″) is included in the workshop price. Our Open Studio Time policy for workshops is stated below.
