As the Lunar New Year approaches, appreciate Chinese culture through the practice of calligraphy. Where does the appeal of calligraphy lie? Why do we write auspicious characters for the New Year? With a brush, paper, and a touch of ink, we slowly experience this pure and enduring art.

What to expect:
Participants will learn basic calligraphy techniques, be introduced to traditional tools and Clerical Script (Lishu), and practise writing basic strokes and the character “Fu” (福). Each participant will take home a completed 17 × 17 cm red cardstock artwork. A finished piece perfect for home display this Chinese New Year.

Led by Guest Calligrapher Chew Chai Ying 周彩莹老师 who joins us at Well Played for this Lunar New Year Special pop-up event. 

工作坊內容:

新春将至，在这个属于华人的重要节日里，我们借由流传多年的书法，重新走近中华文化，也走近一段缓慢而持续的时间。书法的魅力，藏在一支毛笔的起落之间。新年书写吉祥字，不是为了装饰，而是在一年将要展开之际，让心先安定下来。一支毛笔，一张纸，一点墨。手在纸上移动，呼吸跟着放慢。在一笔一画之中慢慢体会书写本身，也为新的一年，留下一份安稳的开始。

课程内容包括:

1. 书法书写的基础技巧：握笔姿势、坐姿与用笔方式。

2. 认识文房四宝；了解两千年多前形成的书法书体——隶书。

3. 课堂中，老师将引导学员练习基本笔画，并完成一个“福”字作品，最后带回一幅 17 × 17 公分 的硬卡红纸成品。红红的成品适合家中摆放，增添新年气氛。
