Immerse yourself in the ancient art of Chinese calligraphy with a 1-hour class at Amitabha Garden in London. Learn traditional brush techniques step-by-step, while also understanding the cultural roots behind what you are practising.

Begin with a short introduction to the history and significance of calligraphy in Chinese culture. Then, learn how to hold and control the brush comfortably, and practice foundational strokes and the rhythm behind them.

Discover how to control ink pressure, speed, and line weight, and learn simple composition techniques so your writing looks balanced and intentional. Enjoy a short guided practice that you can repeat at home.

Throughout the class, enjoy complimentary Chinese tea of the season. At the end of the class, take home a calligraphy starter set so you can keep practising after the class.
