About the Workshop
This is an introductory workshop that combines lantern-making with calligraphy.
We’ll begin by studying the structure of Chinese characters and practicing traditional brush techniques; if you’d like, the instructor will also demonstrate how to apply these strokes to English lettering. In the second half, you’ll hand-assemble a paper lantern and mount your own calligraphy onto it.
Finally, we’ll install a light to make your calligraphy glow, transforming your work into a luminous piece that carries your story.
You can take home:
A glowing LED lantern featuring your own Chinese calligraphy.
The knack for brush calligraphy—usable for both Chinese and English!
Please note that this workshop runs alongside our Chinese Seal Carving Workshop (篆刻), taught by the same instructor. The two practices are closely connected within the tradition of Chinese art, and there will be a maximum of 6 participants in total.
