Overview

Enjoy the unique opportunity to delve into the world of traditional Chinese calligraphy or painting and explore the beauty of this ancient art form. No prior experience is needed. The course offers a peaceful retreat into creativity, allowing you to connect with nature through the mindful movement of the brush.
Chinese calligraphy is more than just beautiful writing; it is a deeply respected art form and a moving meditation. For centuries, it has been a cornerstone of Chinese culture, reflecting the mind, spirit, and character of the artist. Our experiential course is designed to guide you into this captivating world.
Chinese painting is a poetic art form that seeks to capture the essence and spirit of a subject, rather than its exact physical appearance. The resulting artworks are not just images but profound expressions of emotion and atmosphere. Our hands-on workshop invites you to experience this elegant tradition.
