Chinese New Year Calligraphy

Title: Chinese Calligraphy in the Park 🖌️🍃 (Beginner-Friendly)

Description:
Join us for a calm, aesthetic outdoor session of Chinese calligraphy in the park — a slow, mindful practice where nature becomes your studio.

We’ll begin with a short story: how Chinese characters were inspired by observing nature, and why in calligraphy the most important thing isn’t speed, but attention.

Then we’ll practice step by step:
• Brush basics: how to hold the brush, where to press, where to stay light
• Water practice: strokes on water-writing sheets (they appear, then fade — no fear of mistakes)
• Ink practice: training sheets with ink for deeper, more confident movement
• Final piece: your chosen character on rice paper
(Optional: add a fingerprint stamp as a personal mark of the moment)

You’ll leave with your finished calligraphy — a small art object and a memory of a quiet, beautiful morning.

What to bring:
Comfortable clothes, a bottle of water, and a curious mind.
All calligraphy materials are provided (brush, ink, water sheets, paper).

Level:
Open to beginners — no experience needed.
