In the spring of 2009, Heidi was one of four residents accepted to a three-month program at Andretta Pottery in Himachal Pradesh, India under the tutelage of one of Bernard Leach’s students, Mansimran Singh. It was a throwing “boot camp” working on a kick-wheel open-air 8-10 hours a day, 6 days a week. For more information about this program see Andretta Pottery.
