Family Event: Kathy Tighe, Instructor Get your hands dirty making a playable ocarina, one of the world’s oldest musical instruments. These small, multi-note clay flutes were used in many early cultures and are still found in contemporary music. In this two-part workshop, participants will create an ocarina, sculpt it into an animal shape, experiment with tuning, and visit the related bilingual exhibition in the Peabody Museum, /Ocarinas of the Americas: Music Made in Clay/. Each participant will make a bisque-fired flute (similar to the ones pictured) to paint at home. (Ages 8 and older, accompanied by an adult).Advance registration required [1]$35 per person members/$45 nonmembersFree parking is available at the 52 Oxford Street Garage [2][1] https://reservations.hmsc.harvard.edu/Info.aspx?EventID=19[2] https://www.google.com/maps/place/52+Oxford+St,+Harvard+University,+Cam…
