​Clay Whistle Workshop

Come and make clay sing!

Join me on a few Saturday afternoons to learn how to make a clay whistle.
You can choose your whistle shape or create a cool character that will sing to you. 

​Day 1

• Design what you want to make
• Learn a few basic hand building techniques 
• Begin building your whistle in clay

Day 2 and 3

• Carrying on building our whistles
• Learn how to make the whistle whistle.
• Learn how to add extra sounds
• Finish it off and let it dry 
• Off it goes to the kiln to be fired for the first time

Day 4​

• Now to make it pretty by adding colour with under glazes and transparent glaze on top.
• Then off it goes again to the kiln for the last time for the final firing. 
• Now you can come and collect the final fired Whistle... Yaaah!
• And blow a merry tune all the way home. 

Workshop times - 
I have mapped out four Saturday afternoons - Day 1 begins - Saturday 11th May - 1.30 - 3.00 pm and possibly ending on the 1st June. However depending on how intricate or simple your whistle will be or how long it takes for your whistle to dry (depending on the weather or how large you have made it?) your time for these classes could be shorter or longer? 
I believe in going with the creative flow when it comes to clay and see what unfolds. 

Cost of the 4 Day workshop - $115.00 Plus material costs 
Depending on how heavy your whistle is, (as it is weighed when fired). Plus a small bag of clay and glaze charges. 
​The total material cost will vary between approximately $12.00 - $30.00? But average - $16.00
Tools are provided. 

Hope to see you here for a whistling fun time! ​
