Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA! There are two program options, both take place one a week over 6 weeks.

• Tuesdays starting Sept. 3 from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. (Sept. 3, Sept. 10, Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8)
• Tuesdays starting Sept. 3 from 6:30  - 8 p.m. (Sept. 3, Sept. 10, Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8)

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. Register online at ludingtonartscenter.org or by calling 231-845-2787.

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.

The Western Case Bound Book workshop offers an in-depth exploration into the art and craft of traditional bookbinding. Led by the experienced instructor Cathy Hunt, this hands-on workshop is designed for both beginners and those with some experience in the field. Participants will engage in the complete process of binding a Western Case Bound Book, known for its durability and classic appeal.

The workshop will guide participants through the meticulous steps of bookbinding, starting with the selection of materials, including the paper for the text block and the fabric for the case. Attendees will learn various sewing techniques to assemble the spine and secure the text block, ensuring a sturdy structure. The use of adhesives will be demonstrated, highlighting their role in the durability and flexibility of the finished book.

In addition to creating a fully bound book, participants will also construct two models that illustrate critical stages of the bookbinding process. These models serve as valuable references, revealing the intricate techniques that are typically concealed within a completed book. The models allow participants to understand and refine their skills, providing a practical foundation for future projects.

Throughout the workshop, Cathy Hunt will share her expertise in book arts, offering insights into the historical context of bookbinding and contemporary innovations in the craft. Her background in printmaking and collaboration with artists and authors enriches the learning experience, inspiring participants to explore the intersection of visual and textual creativity.

By the end of the workshop, participants will not only have a beautifully bound book to take home but also a comprehensive understanding of the Western Case Bound Book's structure and the confidence to pursue further bookbinding endeavors. All necessary materials are provided, and participants will receive detailed instructions to support their ongoing practice in this timeless art form.

Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA! There are two program options, both take place one a week over 6 weeks.

• Tuesdays starting Sept. 3 from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. (Sept. 3, Sept. 10, Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8)
• Tuesdays starting Sept. 3 from 6:30  - 8 p.m. (Sept. 3, Sept. 10, Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8)

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. Register online at ludingtonartscenter.org or by calling 231-845-2787.

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.

Participants will learn the basics of watercolor and creative techniques in Part 1: Create a Technique Sheet. In Part 2: Developing Your Craft, they will discover what they can, and cannot, do with watercolor. Part 3: Engage and Persist will help them create meaningful art and embrace art problems. Finally, in Part 4: Express and Reflect, they will envision and create watercolor art while reflecting on the art process.
The workshop is designed for adults and teens 15 years or older. The registration fee is $90 for LACA members and $105 for non-members, which includes all supplies. Those interested can register online at ludingtonartscenter.org or call 231-854-2787.

Since retiring in January 2022, she has relocated to Ludington and is rediscovering her creativity and personal artistic journey by exploring mixed media, watercolor, fiber design, and much more. She is looking forward to sharing her creative experience with others and learning some new things about herself.
