Brushed Harmony: Calligraphy

Calligraphy art is a unique and inclusive art form that seamlessly blends the meditative practice of calligraphy with the therapeutic benefits of expressive creativity.

During this workshop, Yan, your instructor, will introduce you to the unique artistry of Chinese calligraphy. She will guide you through the rhythmic strokes of this expressive writing style, leading you to create a painting of Chinese characters or zodiac signs that unveils the rich layers of Chinese culture, where each stroke transcends mere symbolism; it becomes a breath, a movement, a moment of tranquility.

Whether you seek a serene conclusion to your week or a creative outlet for a peaceful mind, this experience provides both serenity and education—a gateway to mindfulness and an escape from the noise of everyday life.
