Come and unlock the magic of music & clay as you embark on a creative journey! December 17 from 1 – 3:30 p.m. Do you know what an ocarina is? It’s like a flute, but instead of a tube, the sound is produced in a chamber. Join us for an immersive and hands-on ceramic workshop where you’ll uncover the ancient art of crafting your very own ocarina, a whimsical and enchanting musical instrument. Throughout this comprehensive workshop, you’ll learn the step-by-step process of creating an ocarina from raw clay to a beautiful musical instrument. Under the guidance of our instructor, Israel Basurto, you’ll delve into the world of ceramics, exploring essential techniques, and shaping clay with your hands. From molding the body of the ocarina to intricately carving the finger holes and crafting the mouthpiece, you’ll acquire the skills to bring your musical vision to life. Embrace your creativity as you personalize your ocarina with a variety of decorative techniques, such as incising patterns, adding texture, and experimenting with underglazes (…all time permitting! Some folks work faster than others). By the end of the workshop, you’ll have not only crafted a one-of-a-kind ocarina but also developed a deeper appreciation for the ancient craft of ceramics.

Color Your Feelings with Shirla de Magalhães. Feelings might be challenging to identify, and unresolved feelings may show up in our lives in ways we don't like - psychologist Carl Jung calls it our "Shadow Parts". When we can better identify and understand our feelings, we can better manage them and not let them take control of us. In this playful workshop we will use colors to help identify feelings and better understand that all feelings are welcome, and we can learn to live joyfully with all of them, even the "shadow ones". No art experience necessary.
