Clay Instruments

Shana creates a variety of clay instruments, including many types of whistles, flutes, ocarinas, rattles, drums, horns, and xylophones.  She was first inspired by the book, From Mud to Music: Making and Enjoying Ceramic Musical Instruments, by Barry Hall. Shana has never really considered herself a musician, but she loves to play with her own clay instruments and enjoys all their unique sounds.
