Hand-Built Ocarina Animals Workshop

This two-day hands-on experience will provide guided instruction into making hand-built Ocarinas. Ocarinas belong to an ancient family of woodwind instruments that date back thousands of years all over the world. The Maya, Aztec, cultures produced clay ocarinas, often shaped like birds or animals, for musical and ceremonial purposes. We will discover approachable hand-building methods to create these magical little instruments. Have you ever just wanted to let the clay tell you what it wants to be? You never know what will actually evolve from the small ball of clay we start with. Let your imagination run wild and see what bird or animal comes out for you!
