WANG NING CHINESE CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Wang Ning welcomes both beginners and experienced practitioners to a day of immersion in traditional Chinese brushwork and the meditative exploration of its relationship to ink and paper.

What to expect: Master Wang will offer step-by-step guidance in this ancient art:
- Grinding our own ink in the traditional way
- Leading a meditative preparation for picking up the brush and touching the paper.
- Studying one or more characters in depth.
- Envisioning writing.
- Writing! Not painting.
- Weaving form and meaning as we write.
Wang Ning is a master calligrapher and Chinese seal maker in addition to being adept in Tai Chi. His writing of Chinese characters reflects the same kind of flow and relaxed breathing of Tai Chi Chuan, playful yet simultaneously precise and concentrated. Philosopher and optimist, Master Wang makes diving into the art of brush writing accessible and joyful.
