Learn how to hold the brush the right way at this relaxing Japanese calligraphy, shodō, experience.
What to expect
Japanese calligraphy requires patience and a good teacher — both of which you’ll find at this casual meetup. Take this opportunity to brush up on your penmanship in traditional ink and practice kanji characters while learning their cultural significance. At the end, you can take home your piece.
This calligraphy event is held every month. If you can’t make it this time, feel free to join the next one.
All tools and materials are provided, but organizers recommend you wear an apron or clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. All calligraphy levels are welcome, and English support is available.
