Flute-making Workshop

In this hands-on workshop, participants will experience ceramic musical instruments made across Central and South America for thousands of years, and create their own clay vessel flutes, or ocarinas. Through simple hand-building techniques and intuitive tuning, each participant will craft a unique instrument that functions as both a musical tool and a visual work of art.
