Some one on the list had his website on his mail to the list and when I
went to look at it there were these great fish whistles, and some photos
of kids blowing them. Well, he also had photos of how he made them, you
know, the steps he takes. Well, I am making whistles for my Ceramic IV
class here at the University of New Mexico and making the same basic
shape, not fish, but what caught my attention was that he was sticking
popcicle sticks in their mouth to hold open the blow hole. That is what I
am trying to do but it is not working out. So I am wondering, do you have
to soak the sticks in water before inserting? or oil? Does anyone out
there know who I am talking about so I can go to his website again and ask
him?
Any clue would be greatly appreciated. I was such a dork for not
bookmarking the site. I thought I would remember. NOT! What a dork!
Thanks, Janna

I have some instructions on making whistles, when I was taught how to make
them we did not wet the popsicle sticks. I'll be happy to mail you the
instructions if you send your address. UNM is the place I took my first
ceramics class, lived in Placitas.

Hi Janna,
That would be me :)
I put them in dry. As with just about everything,
timing seems to be everything. After I throw the bottles I let them
sit till they are a little stiffer, then I put the sticks in and
flatten them to the correct shape.
Regards,
Jim
