This was an amazing...

Steven_B, Jul 2023

This was an amazing experience with both a history of calligraphy and various techniques. Our teacher was super patient with me and my bad handwriting, and showed us all the types of motions to make. Highly recommended!

Whilst in Japan, we did an authentic calligraphy class. The teacher polite and well spoken with her English. Was so engrossed that we didn’t realise how quickly the time went by!
