About this Event

Learn the foundations of character development, including strokes, stroke order, and Lin Tie which is a specific character from a tablet of a great calligrapher. You will place the character in a square, typically with grids, which allows you to copy and imitate the character itself. This will give you an understanding of the stroke order. A focus will be on regular script, however both cursive script and grass script will be considered. Jonathan will also consider the famous Orchid Pavilion.Jonathan Root grew up in Chester Vermont.
