Tao consultations in Zurich
A Broader Perspective on Creative Practice
Alongside ceramic teaching, Clay & Tao also offers optional consultations informed by traditional Taoist frameworks such as BaZi and Feng Shui.
Rather than separate disciplines, these perspectives explore rhythm, timing and personal patterns — themes that often resonate with the slow, attentive nature of working with clay.
For some students, ceramic practice becomes a tangible way to reflect, recalibrate and integrate a deeper sense of direction.
What participants experience
“Having tried several pottery studios in Zurich as a newcomer, I can highly recommend Alex’s Clay and Tao approach. Her studio is warm and friendly with individual focus on students. I’ve learnt to recenter myself in her space and discovered the joy of imperfections in my work. I’m delighted with the pieces I made this year and the Tao reading for the year to come!”
“Einfach ein toller, chilliger Ort um seine Kreativität auszuleben oder zu endecken. Alexandra hat eine Engelsgeduld und zeigt ganz sanft und leicht die Richtung die man einschlagen könnte. Die Resultate machen einfach nur Spass.”
“Most amazing and relaxing experience ever! I promise you’ll love every second of it! Alex is the sweetest and most patient person ever! You’ll learn so much as a beginner and have so much fun doing so. Thank you Alex for this experience 💛”
