During this workshop, Yan, your instructor, will introduce you to the unique artistry of Chinese calligraphy. She will guide you through the rhythmic strokes of this expressive writing style, leading you to create a painting of Chinese characters or zodiac signs that unveils the rich layers of Chinese culture, where each stroke transcends mere symbolism; it becomes a breath, a movement, a moment of tranquility.
