The ancient art of Chinese calligraphy is said to be like meditation, quieting the heart and calming the mind by moving its qi or energy in rhythm with the movement of the brush. This five-session fortnightly course is suitable for students of all levels. Learn to control a soft brush on rice paper and use it to form bold yet delicate strokes that create harmonious and elegant Chinese characters. At the end of the course, you will have meaningful works of your own to take home & the technique & appreciation to make calligraphy an everyday skill.
