The passion for calligraphy of the teacher shines through. The mood of the class was light hearted. As the group settles down from the excitement, we switched to a calming mood. The simplicity of learning to write again and feeling our brushes move on the surface of paper. Definitely recommend.

we worked a lot with the brush ourselves in the course and were allowed to take our artwork home at the end. There was tea and the teacher took pictures of us and sent us these. A successful workshop.
