Mud to Music: Taller de Flautas de Arcilla

Los instrumentos musicales nos han ayudado a comunicar y expresarnos desde los comienzos de la cultura humana. Al construir nuestros propios instrumentos artesanales despertamos la memoria de nuestra conexión con la naturaleza, cultivamos presencia a través de trabajar el barro, y experimentamos alegría a con el sonido y la música. En este taller aprenderemos sobre instrumentos milenarios de Centroamérica y América del Sur y construiremos nuestras propias flautas con arcilla. Todos los materiales y herramientas están incluidos. ¡No se requiere experiencia previa con arcilla, instrumentos ni música!
