International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
April 2, 2025 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA!
Wednesdays starting March 12 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. (Mar. 12, Mar. 19, Mar. 26, Apr. 2, Apr. 9, and Apr. 16) This class is designed for students 12 years old to adults. Registration for the six-week season is $50 for LACA members and $60 for non-members. Students who have already completed the six-week session are invited to join the class to practice! Drop-in fees for LACA members is $9 and for non-members is $12.
Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.
The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.

International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
April 9, 2025 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA!
Wednesdays starting March 12 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. (Mar. 12, Mar. 19, Mar. 26, Apr. 2, Apr. 9, and Apr. 16) This class is designed for students 12 years old to adults. Registration for the six-week season is $50 for LACA members and $60 for non-members. Students who have already completed the six-week session are invited to join the class to practice! Drop-in fees for LACA members is $9 and for non-members is $12.
Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.
The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.

International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
April 16, 2025 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA!
Wednesdays starting March 12 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. (Mar. 12, Mar. 19, Mar. 26, Apr. 2, Apr. 9, and Apr. 16) This class is designed for students 12 years old to adults. Registration for the six-week season is $50 for LACA members and $60 for non-members. Students who have already completed the six-week session are invited to join the class to practice! Drop-in fees for LACA members is $9 and for non-members is $12.
Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.
The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.

Sip and Sgraffito w/ Rebekah Bramer
Sip and Sgraffito w/ Rebekah Bramer
April 16, 2025 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for an evening of creativity, connection, and clay as we explore the art of sgraffito! This hands-on workshop, led by experienced pottery artist Rebekah Bramer, is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing and artistic experience. Tea and cocoa will be available to participants.
Workshop Details:
What to Expect: Sgraffito, derived from the Italian word for "scratch," is a decorative pottery technique that dates back centuries. It involves carving or scratching through a surface layer to reveal a contrasting color beneath, creating intricate patterns and designs. This time-honored method allows for endless creative expression and unique results.
Participants will start by selecting a pre-formed wine sipper and can customize their piece by adding a sip top or handle. Using underglaze, they will paint their design onto the piece. While waiting for the underglaze to dry, participants can relax and enjoy the provided tea and coco while mingling with fellow attendees in a welcoming atmosphere.
Once the underglaze has dried, the sgraffito process begins! Participants will carve into the clay, revealing beautiful designs that combine the natural clay surface and the painted areas. The pieces will then be fired, and Rebekah will apply a clear glaze and fire them again for a stunning, finished look. Completed pieces will be ready for pickup by Apr. 30.
Register at ludingtonartscenter.org or call 231-845-2787.
About Rebekah Bramer:Rebekah has spent over a decade perfecting her craft as a pottery hobbyist and brings her passion to the local community. As the Kiln Manager at LACA, she supports the growth of pottery in Ludington and inspires others to discover their artistic potential.
