If there was one art form that best exemplifies traditional China, particularly the golden ages of the Tang and Song dynasties, it would be calligraphy.
Although calligraphy is now thought of as an art form, traditionally it was much more – a way to cultivate personal character. It was considered essential for any cultured person to be skilled in calligraphy (as well as the related skill, painting).
Read on to find out how you can experience this beautiful art form on our next calligraphy workshop!
Traditionally, when beginning calligraphy, students would copy their teacher until they could replicate their calligraphy, writing the same character thousands of times until it was perfect.
Fortunately, our calligraphy workshops are slightly faster paced, and you won’t be expected to practice each stroke a thousand times before moving to the next step! And while you might not become a master calligrapher during our class, you’ll definitely have a better understanding of the skill and techniques used in creating the stunning cultural treasures you see adorning so many walls around China.
