This was my first time doing calligraphy and it was a great experience! The teacher Richard was really informed and really helpful. I learned a lot in just a 45 minute session. I would definitely book another session with him the next time I am in Beijing. 10/10 class. I even got to leave with my own canvas and my own brush as a gift!
