Details

Discover the history, philosophy, and foundational techniques of Asian calligraphy in this hands-on workshop exploring the expressive power of line, gesture, and movement.

Participants will examine how brushwork, rhythm, and intentionality transform writing into art, and how calligraphy serves as both meditative practice and cultural expression. Through guided instruction and practice, attendees will experiment with traditional tools and techniques while reflecting on how mark-making carries meaning across generations and across cultures. 

All materials included.

Workshop registration coming soon.
