Course description

SLS offers 2 hour Chinese Calligraphy workshops at our convenient Sydney CBD location.

In the first hour of this workshop, our calligraphists will give you detailed hands-on instructions in calligraphy brush techniques at Beginner Level.
Our trainers will then help you polish up your creative calligraphy skills slowly in the second hour.
The workshops will cover a wide variety of calligraphy so that workshop participants are able to focus on what they are most interested in – the writing, the skill of using brush, or both.
You can ask the teachers to help write your name and any specific words using the calligraphy technique.

We also offer the following Calligraphy workshop. You are welcome to join any of them:
