Procedures:Get a lump of clay.Split lump of clay in half.Take a little clay from the largest half
of 2 clay lumps and make 1-8 equal sized spheres of clay. *
Wrap those spheres of clay carefully in tissue paper, keeping spheres round. From the two lumps of clay not in tissue
paper continue following steps:
More spheres rattle higher, tinkly LESS means lower sounding rattle
Procedures:Create TWO, SIMILAR 2 inch pots
Make both lumps of clay into two even sized spheres of clay.
Take one sphere and poke thumb into center leaving 1/4 inch between thumb and forefinger.
Slowly and gently pinch and turn with thumb only on the inside.
The goal is to create EVEN WALLS of clay while leaving the top edge rounded. Repeat with second sphere of clay
Procedures:BE sure pinch pots have EQUAL
CIRCUMFERENCE remember making TWO, SIMILAR 2 inch pots!
Score and slip the top edges of the pinch pots. *
Drop tissue covered spheres into one of the pinch pots.
Remember to dab when score and slip DO NOT RUB THE EDGE
Procedures:Starting from one point on each
pot, match their edges up, working slowly around SLOWLY SQUISH AND WIGGLE the pinch pots together.
Marry the pinch pots together by moving a little clay from the side of one pinch pot onto the other, alternately up one, down other. Working all around rattle.
Smooth and Shape CAREFULLY by rolling and/or tapping.
Remember air valve is important or will BLOW UP!
Procedures:
Poke a small hole in the hollow sphere.
Write your name on a small piece of paper towel and place in designated area.

Contemporary American artist
Today, when masks have little importance to most people beyond Halloween or an occasional costume party, it is hard to understand that at one time they were among the most important objects a family or community could possess. Worn during ceremonial dances and story tellings, these elaborate "false faces" helped to celebrate the blessing a community had received, to pass on its history and beliefs, to coax and sometime scare young people into proper behavior, and to mark important events such as births, marriages, and the changing of the seasons.
