Sound Masks: Awakening the Earth’s voice through ceramics
Ceramic instruments have long been a gateway to connecting with the natural world. Cultures across America used these sound objects in music, dance, and daily life, imbuing them with ritual and ceremonial meanings that bridge the past and present, the tangible and the unseen.
The Ceramic Sound Masks course invites participants into a transformative sensory experience. This journey carries with it an intimate reflection on these objects’ cultural and spiritual significance, uncovering their place in both the ancient and contemporary world. More than just a ceramics workshop, it is an immersive experience that awakens the sounds of the earth. As participants explore the textures and soundscapes of clay, they are invited into a deep meditative state, connecting with themselves and the world around them.
Central to this journey is the sound ceremony—an opportunity to step into a timeless space, where the past and present blend through the vibrations of clay. The sounds created are not mere noises but stories, rituals, and emotions coming to life, all captured within the forms that emerge. Each piece created carries an intention, a reflection of the artistic sensitivity of the maker.
At Cerdeira, where the ancient meets the contemporary, creation becomes an act of listening, feeling, and experiencing. This course is more than just a creative exercise —it’s an invitation to connect with the essence of what we create, what we feel, and what the earth has to offer.
