“Bamboo – strength lies in flexibility”: Chinese ink painting workshop, Tallinn

About the workshop: the bamboo workshop combines unique Chinese ink-painting techniques with meditation, and during the process a unique bamboo painting is created.

As a gift you receive a brush and magic water paper on which you can write and practise your hand endlessly!

Bamboo has a deeply symbolic status in Chinese and Japanese culture thanks to its resilience and flexibility. Confucius said of it: “A flexible bamboo is stronger than an oak that resists.” Its hollow stem symbolises an open mind, sincerity and tolerance, while its flexibility and strength show how one can endure difficulties without breaking.

Instructor: Kristiina Kraft, who studied traditional Chinese ink painting and calligraphy with well-known artists in China.

A small Chinese-style snack and an authentic Chinese tea are included.

Time and place: 27 November 2026, 17:30, Maneeži 3, 4th floor, Tallinn.
