A rare opportunity in Perth to learn Japanese calligraphy with a native teacher.
In this workshop, you'll experience Japanese calligraphy as Zen-inspired art.
Rather than focusing on perfect technique, we will explore brush movement, ink, space and meaning. You'll practise simple kanji characters and create one calligraphy artwork on a small square canvas. The final piece will be finished with a touch of gold paint, making it a beautiful artwork you'll be proud to display.
Meaningful Japanese characters, such as harmony, light and energy, amongst others, will be explored.
Suitable for beginners. All materials will be supplied for use in class. You'll take home your finished art.​​​​
This is a wonderful session in mindfulness, a perfect Sunday afternoon activity to fill your cup.
