Surreal Art Experience

The experience was amazing! Mr. Lee was very attentive in his teaching. Atmosphere was key in helping stay focused. The fee was very reasonable considering learning and showcasing of the art. In roughly an hour and a half visit, it was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend!

Short but intense practice

We had a 45min session which was gone really fast. And we wrote only 2 letters, not of our choice. It was good practice. I would have loved to learn write a word of my choice though. We got to write the practiced 2 letters on a nice red paper n the end which was our gift + a big brush.

Richard met us outside the hotel and brought us to the store in the mall to do the class. A group class turned into a personalized class for my sister and I. Richard was very pleasant and allowed us lots of practice before the final project. I would highly recommend this experience with Richard if you are curious about calligraphy.

Just do it.

Take it just to try it. I’m not an artist but felt like this would be a fun class. I didn’t know it would be peaceful as well. I’m leaving here now feeling like I just took a meditation class. Oh and I booked a small group and ended up having a private. It felt so good to be here. So JUST DO IT.

Lovely way to decompress.

This was the perfect way to find some space after a hectic day. I booked a small group, but it ended up being solo. We practiced simple to complex strokes and by the end, I just felt so much peace. I want to do this more at home. Highly recommend. It’s fun and peaceful.

A great experience

Our teacher, Richard, was a very friendly and helpful teacher. He walked us to the shop we practiced calligraphy in, then guided us through the strokes. We got to take home a lovely souvenir of our final practice
