This experience lets you learn about the old art of the cucù, a clay whistle shaped like a bird. The cucù makes a fun sound and has important cultural meaning. The workshop takes place in a real pottery studio. A Master Artisan will teach how to make the whistles. People will learn old ways to make clay whistles that have one sound, two sounds, or even use water to make the sound. Each type of whistle has its own special charm. The master artisan will show you the easy way of moulding the clay into different shapes. After the cucù is made, it will be fired in a kiln. This makes it strong and gives it a good sound. The finished cucù can be picked up later or shipped to another country. This handmade cucù is a real piece of Matera. This keepsake will help you remember the spirit of Matera.
