Introduction to Japanese Calligraphy.
An introductory class to Japanese calligraphy with brush.
After some foundation history, we begin the practical section of the workshop by learning techniques to holding the brush, Yumi will guide you through techniques to getting the right pigment of ink onto the brush with some practice strokes.
Yumi and the class with discuss the group's preference on the Japanese word to learn, such as hope, dream, light, love, harmony.
All materials will be supplied.
As a bonus, you will have your name converted to Japanese or Chinese characters, if you haven’t already had this done for you before.
This form of art is not only enjoyable to learn, you'll experience how to paint with carbon-ink and brush, but you’ll also be surprised at how much better you can concentrate and be tranquil at the same time, as is the calming nature of the Japanese culture.
