The Clay Instrument Workshop
From a clay lump to something that makes sound...ceramics & music for hobbyists to expert. Friends who want more than pottery, maybe a mug that plays!
You’ve tried making a whistle before.
It didn’t work.
And some part of you decided maybe you’re just not wired for this.
You pick up a clay whistle and think, "What kind of person makes this stuff?”
I once sat in a class with students half my age and took longer than all of them to make a simple whistle… then got stubborn enough to figure out what no one was explaining.
When it finally sounds, everything shifts.
You grin. You say, “I did it. It works. Hey, look everyone, it whistles!!"
And suddenly it’s not about talent.
It’s curiosity. Persistence. What else can I shape from a lump of clay? Perhaps an ocarina?
If you want to make a clay instrument that actually sings…start here.
The Clay Instrument Workshop is where history, clay, and sound collide. This is a place for the curious: potters, musicians, history lovers, clay hobby people and anyone who’s ever picked up a strange artifact and wondered, “How on earth did this make noise?”
Pull up a stool.
There’s room at the bench.
