About this class
4-10 participants • 1 day • 3 hours • Intermediate or beginner level • With Renata Salas (Guest ceramicist)
Discover the art of hand-building with clay while creating your very own ocarina — a unique wind instrument with ancient roots. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn shaping techniques, how to create precise finger holes, and the basics of tuning your instrument.
What you’ll do in the class
Program of the workshop :
- Guidance to draw your instrument and choose your clay among four different colors (black, white, beige and brown)
- Make your ocarina with variate handbuilding techniques and the guidance of the instructor
- Paint your piece with colored engobes
- After the workshop, your piece will be fired and glazed with a transparent coating by the studio (no extra cost for firing and glazing in transparent)
- Your piece will be ready to pickup at our studio one month after your workshop (we need time to dry it, fire it and paint it after you made it: this is a slow process! 😉)
Who is the class suitable for?
This workshop is perfect for beginners and ceramic enthusiasts alike. Come join us in a warm, welcoming space where creativity flows, make a beautiful, functional instrument crafted by your own hands!
