Discover the timeless beauty of East Asian calligraphy in this hands-on workshop.
We’ll begin by exploring the history, styles, and cultural significance of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy. You’ll then have the chance to pick up a brush yourself, starting with practice paper before moving on to special calligraphy boards you can take home as a unique souvenir of the experience.
No previous experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to try something new.
