Calligraphy is a practice that unites eye, hand, breath, mind and materials. In this creative workshop we will explore the simple beauty of playing with Asian ink, brushes and paper. We’ll begin with getting familiar with the materials, then investigate making marks on different kinds of paper, and end with a few phrases from the heart sutra using seal script. No experience necessary. If you have your own calligraphy bushes, please bring them. If not, all materials will be provided.
Workshop fee: $30.00, including materials
Shinmon Michael Newton, Mountain Rain's co-guiding teacher, has studied calligraphy with teachers in Japan and Vancouver for many years.
