Bird Whistle Pottery Workshop
Course Overview
Discover the charm of traditional clay bird whistles in this hands‑on two‑evening workshop.
Guided by ceramic artist Sherelyn, you will learn how to sculpt, carve and tune your own clay bird whistle - a delightful fusion of art, sound and storytelling.
Across two relaxed evenings, you will explore hand‑building techniques, shaping expressive bird forms and creating the internal chamber that gives each whistle its unique voice. Sherelyn will demonstrate her own prototype designs and share tips for refining details, adding personality and ensuring your whistle sings beautifully once fired.
Perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike, this workshop offers a playful, creative experience and a beautiful keepsake to treasure.
Dates: Tuesday 14 July & Thursday 16 July

Having developed a love for shaping clay by hand, Sherelyn's work is experimental, playful and occasionally accidental. What energises her are pieces with tactile qualities, functionality and most importantly bring joy when viewed and used.
