ZEN calligraphy workshop

Three hours of presence and creating. We dive into the world of Chinese calligraphy, where every brush stroke is like a breath: conscious, calm and precise. We use traditional tools, ink, a pointed brush and rice paper.

In the workshop we learn how the brush and ink work together, practise focus and presence, write simple and beautiful Chinese characters, and look at the 6,000-year-old writing system to find simple natural forms in abstract shapes. We enjoy a slow, meditative creative process and taste healthy Chinese-style snacks and genuine pu-erh tea. No previous art or calligraphy experience is needed.

Led by calligraphy and ink-painting artist and lecturer Kristiina Kraft. Venue: Maneeži 3, 4th floor, Merivälja 3, Tallinn, starts 17:30.
