University Open Air: Creative Calligraphy & Ink Wash Workshop
Traditional Chinese is the written script used in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. In this interactive workshop, we will practice, write and discuss select characters in ink. Then, channel your creativity by integrating calligraphy into personalized ink wash paintings. Choose themes inspired by your characters and bring them to life on paper. Join us for a unique blend of writing and art.
