In this hands-on workshop, students both create a traditional Romanov folk clay toy—small lark/duck that doubles as a working whistle—and learn the history of it. Using simple hand-building techniques, participants form hollow shapes, build a whistle mechanism, and decorate their pieces with colorful slips and folk-inspired patterns. A fun, creative exploration of clay, sound, and storytelling.
