Overview
This course is aimed at potters who have studied Andrews Tai Chi Method and want to go further or for students who want to learn it.
Andrew works individually with each potter but within a group setting. The classes are small so you will get lots of tuition.
First, you will throw cylinders again. This is where that wee tutorial hint will bring you on much further. Building on your skills either from Tai Chi or from prior studio experience you will be Turning; Pulling handles; making forms and controlling the space and rhythm of your work. It is only for three days: it will be intensive! We will practise together and then enhance those skills. It’s all in the hands.
