Drop in on Tuesday evening 15 January for a free taster session to try your hand at the age old art of calligraphy/Chinese brush painting.
Running from 6.30 to 7.30pm this free session will give you a chance to try using a calligraphy brush and ink to create works of beauty. Led by the Institute`s calligraphy teacher, artist Chi Zhang will give a talk on the historic background of Chinese calligraphy/brush painting, and guide the students to discover the unseen reality beyond the surface of Chinese paintings.
