Spring Festival Calligraphy Workshop
Walking around anywhere in China, you may have noticed red strips of paper with characters on them pasted around doors, and diamond shaped pieces of paper with a single character stuck on doors or windows. These are used to repel bad luck and welcome in good luck. Every year on or before Spring Festival Eve, people replace these decorations with fresh new ones for the new year.
Please note: Due to the current epidemic situation this event may be changed or cancelled at short notice. Please contact us for the latest information.
Join Cultural Keys on January 8th to write your own Spring Festival decorations! In this workshop, you’ll learn the essential things to know about both Spring Festival and calligraphy. Then with the guidance of an expert calligrapher, you’ll learn to write the character 福 Fú on red paper squares and auspicious phrases on a set of three strips of red paper, called 春联 Chūnlián in Chinese, or couplets (even though there are three!) in English. We’ll finish up with a dumpling lunch/dinner!
This workshop will be held twice on the 8th, once in the morning for younger children (6+), and once in the afternoon for older children (12+). Adults are welcome at both! Note that the morning session is one hour shorter than the afternoon session, as in the afternoon the presentation is more detailed and you will spend more time practicing calligraphy.
