Can someone please give me instructions for making clay whistles? I know it
has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it in the archive.
Thanks,
Brian

Brian, There is a small book titled Clay Whistles...the voice of clay by
Janet Moniot. If you have a problem locating the book. Try the
internet because several pottery companies are on the net now.

Hi Brian--and anyone else looking for this information,
Try the book and/or the video by Janet Moniot, Clay Whistles. It's
available from most pottery supply places and The Potters' Shop bookstore
in MA (tel. 617-449-7687).
Janet has been making and researching clay whistles for many years.
Regards, Jean (in NH where the weather changes every 5 minutes!)

Janet makes wonderful clay whistles and whistling water jugs.
She's received some correspondence to an old New Hampshire address.
Please note her new address. She's also the author of the book of the same

Hi, Diane and other frustrated whistlers!
There is an excellent booklet "Clay Whistles..the voice of clay", written
and illustrated by Janet Moniot, which I picked up at either Greenbarn (in
B.C.) or Clay Art Center in Tacoma, WA. (can't remember which). It explains
the procedure, with very good drawings, and most importantly---it has a
troubleshooting chapter with cross-section drawings of everything that can
go wrong and how to fix it! I couldn't get my first whistle to make any
sound, so, in frustration, I cut it in half lengthwise and compared it to
the drawings, immediately saw what was wrong, fixed it, slipped the two
halves back together and it worked great! Each one you make will take less
and less time, and it's great fun turning the whistles into other
things---hedgehogs, pigs, cats, fish, etc. I even made an Ocarina---boy,
was it a challenge to get the holes right so it would play a true octave!
Never did get it exactly right, but it was pretty close. Have fun with it!

Diane,
How about "Clay Whistles" by Janet Moniot? It is wonderful presentation of how
to make a variety of clay whistles. Very easy to follow. I use it all the time
with my high school students and they have a great time! We have both the book
and the video for sale here at The Potters Shop.

In a recent posting, Jennifer Boyer wrote: "Janet makes the mouth piece
separate from the form of the whistle and adds it on later."
Jennifer and all, This is not correct. Janet's basic whistle is a pinch pot.
That is, one piece of clay with the mouth piece and body all as one form. Her
instructions are absolutely clear, easy to follow and the book even contains a
section on troubleshooting making the whole activity almost foolproof!

I just uploaded a page with my latest whistles. I really enjoy making
these while at a show. They really attract a lot of attention.
Especially when people hear the noise and wonder where it is coming
from. I've been making them for about a year. They are a great project
to do with Junior H.S. kids.

I just realized I forgot to put the URL of my whistle page!!

Linda,
I just visited your whistle site
and wanted to pass on to the
list what a delightful bunch of
whistles they are. I have just
begun making whistles and=20
make some of the same=20
critters you do. =20
Except the
bulldogs. I haven't made
any bulldogs.
They are simply
great! Although, from their
expressions, I sure am glad
they are clay and not the real
thing, considering where you
probably have the , ah, er,
hole, LOL,
Sheron in NC=20

that have just blown through)

There are several sites listed in the archives and others I found by doing a
search on the web. Also try looking on the web under orcianas. I taught
myself how to make the whistles, made @ 40 for a kids program and had them
decorate them. Worked really well although I had planned that the children
would make their own. Realized that the younger ones wouldn't be
able to make them in our time frame so made all in 1 evening. They all had
neat ideas for making them their own the next morning.
