Why should I take this course?
Chinese calligraphy is one of China’s earliest and most important visual art forms. Practising Chinese painting and calligraphy is a calm, relaxing, and meditative process which benefits our well-being and leads to longevity. By controlling the special soft brush with a sharp point, Chinese brush painting is a mental exercise and a physical exercise that coordinates the mind and the body.

What does it cover?
Celebrate the Chinese New Year by making your own ‘Fu’. Chinese calligraphy with

‘Fu’, which means ‘Good luck, good fortune’ is the special message for

Chinese New Year and all other festival occasions.
