Reviews
Teacher Jie Jie was patient and friendly when giving personalised teaching on the basic calligraphy strokes. The environment was relaxing and comfortable as you practised alongside other students. It was a good starter to see if you want to further your interest in Chinese Calligraphy.
Great experience and introduction to Chinese calligraphy! Teacher JieJie is very proficient and was able to guide newbies like me very well. Also learnt about the history of calligraphy and was able to better appreciate the culture after the session.
Instructors are patient and knowledgeable. The workshop is indepth with techniques taught. The history and techniques shared are useful and allows me to appreciate the history and culture of Chinese calligraphy. Attended other workshops before and was being rushed thru. This workshop is very different as it has well exceeded the duration and instructors allow us to write at our time beyond the duration. A good workshop for novice like me. Highly recommended workshop.
Calligraphy is not easy but it is fun and theres a lot to learn! Fret not as instructions are clear and theres good guidance to learn well. Even if you do not speak mandarin, there are nice instructors who can guide in english! The setting is comfortable and I look forward to the next session!
