Caligrafía china de 2 horas con un artista en Shanghái, China

It was just so inspiring to learn the basics of ancient Chinese calligraphy with Lucy in Shanghai. Her depth of understanding, patient, friendly and interactive manner in explanation as well as skilful instructions on the strokes of Chinese calligraphy immediately put one , especially a new beginner at ease. I was so inspired by the history of the writing and waste no time to buy the calligraphy papers, ink and brushes and started to practise them at home. Now I am proud to say that I had written a few ancient Chinese calligraphy words on some fans to be given as gifts to friends. Thanks Lucy!💕

Lucy is very kind and has a clear idea of what can be accomplished in two hours. She gave me a brief overview of the history before moving on to practical exercises, which concluded with a take-home project as a keepsake.

It was really fantastic: First an interesting introduction to Chinese characters and the basics of the art of calligraphy followed by actually practicing. The content was perfectly balanced. Lucy is extremely friendly and kind and encouraging and knowlegeable. I loved every thing about the experience from the location to the content and the possibility to make one fo my oldest dreams come true. Lucy allowed me to try out something I had wanted to do for years even if it was maybe not the easiest option for a first time, she was flexible and super helpful. The setting, in a very small group in someone's home who full time job and passion are calligraphy made the whole experience very special. I loved that I could buy some material after the course to keep practicing back home. The grinding stone and ink and brush I bought from Lucy are by far the most exciting and precious gifts I got on this trip; they are little bit of China in my home now and i am so proud to show off the scroll on which I calligraphed my very first Chinese characters

We had a wonderful learning experience with Lucy. We learned a lot about calligraphy - history, utensils and hands on - it was very enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable, welcoming and good at communicating. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone who is the least bit interested in calligraphy.

The instructor was patient, encouraging, and made the techniques easy to follow even for complete beginners.

An amazing teacher! I loved the stories and the give away. I learned a lot and I bought paper, ink and brush to continue learning more at home, is a very difficult art

Lucy is knowledgeable, kind and highly flexible. She came back to China after Ivy league training and job in finance because she loves calligraphy and it shows. Away from the hustle and bustle, you learn and you get the best souvenirs, ones that you make yourself!

Lucy gave an excellent introduction to calligraphy. She explained the history, different styles, the ink stone, brushes, and how to hold and use them. Then you work to write on a scroll or a fan with a chinese character that you practice with her. I learned a lot and enjoyed it as well! Very good value !

Lucie was an excellent teacher, and so knowledgeable about her craft! She is an accomplished artist, and it was a privilege to learn from her for a few hours. I really enjoyed the experience!!!

This class was the perfect introduction to calligraphy. The artist who led the workshop was so kind and so knowledgeable. I learned so much about the basics of calligraphy, as well as the history, and we got ample time to practice and create our own artwork. The studio was very cozy and comfortable. I could not recommend this class more... excellent value for the money and an absolute highlight of my trip to China.
