Big Calligraphy Mind: A Brush & Ink Workshop with Barbara Bash

Exploring the ancient Chinese principles of heaven, earth and human in the making of a brushstroke, we will use big brushes and buckets of ink and make spontaneous marks. An interest in visual language and movement is
the only prerequisite.

"We go through our lives making our marks in so many ways. Here, with brush and ink, how we manifest in the world can be seen directly. We appreciate our minds - and our lives - when we make a true stroke of the moment."

- Barbara Bash
