More Than a Class—An Immersive Journey
Discover a Hidden Sanctuary: Tucked away in Shanghai's vibrant former French Concession, our studio is a peaceful haven designed for immersion. Leave the noise of the city behind and find your focus in our exclusive, private space.
Guidance from a Legacy Practitioner: Your teacher, Master Zhou, doesn't just teach calligraphy—she lives it. Hailing from a lineage of calligraphers and with 18 years of mentoring students, she offers an authentic and insightful learning experience that is both expert and patient.
Create Your Personal Masterpiece: This isn't just a lesson; it's a creation. You won't just practice strokes—you'll apply them to craft a unique souvenir: a classic Chinese fan adorned with your own brushwork. It's a meaningful piece of art and a lasting memory of your cultural journey.

5.00A private chinese character writing lesson in a nicely furbished shanghai private space. A warm welcome by friendly people. The teacher was very patient and helpful to learn us character writing the right way. It is nice to see your own progress during the lesson. In the end, we were to write characters on a chinese fan which we could take home, and these were applied with an original red stamp from the teacher when we were done. We have been 3 weeks in Shanghai, we did quite some activitities, yet this one stands out.
