Margy Emerson has made her living as a potter for the past sixteen years, most of that time in Springfiled, Illinois. It was there that she studied tai chi chuan under Kao Ching-hua, a Chinese woman who has taught since she arrived in this country just after World War II and who has always emphasied the pracitcal application of the principles of tai chi chuan. A Potter's Notes was written during a sabbatical that began with a move to Northern California and ended with the establishment of a new studio. Ms. Emerson currently lives in Ferndale, California, where she is teaching tai chi chuan and working with clay.
