Chinese Seal Carving Workshop

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!
