The Clay Instrument Workshop is where history, clay, and sound collide ...sometimes politely, sometimes with a surprising squeak. This is a place for the curious: potters, musicians, history lovers, and anyone who’s ever picked up a strange artifact and wondered, “How on earth did this make noise?”
This workshop isn’t about perfection. It’s about process:
- Why an instrument works… or doesn’t
- How air moves through clay
- What ancient makers figured out without complicated tools
- And how failure often sounds funnier (and teaches more) than success

You’ll learn techniques, yes, but you’ll also hear stories, bad jokes, and the occasional pun that refuses to be fired at cone 6. Whether you are hand-building at your kitchen table or working in a full studio, this community is designed to help you think like a maker, listen like a musician, and laugh like someone whose kiln just surprised them.
Pull up a stool.
There’s room at the bench.
