You’ll take part in a hands-on Chinese ink painting and calligraphy workshop in a calm setting. After a short introduction to traditional Chinese brush, ink, and paper, your instructor will demonstrate basic brush techniques and explain how ink, water, and movement work together.

You’ll then choose your project:
• Paint a traditional fan, or
• Decorate a Chinese lantern using calligraphy or ink painting

Step by step, you’ll practice brush strokes, learn how to control ink tones, and explore simple Chinese characters or classic motifs such as flowers, bamboo, or symbols of good fortune. The instructor will guide you individually, helping you adjust your strokes and composition.

No prior experience is needed. The workshop is designed for small groups, allowing plenty of personal guidance and a relaxed pace. At the end of the session, you’ll complete your own finished piece to take home, a meaningful souvenir created by you. The experience is a peaceful break from the city and a chance to slow down, create, and connect with Chinese culture through doing, not just watching.
