A really nice workshop! - Master Lee's course is essential and well structured. We work in silence, with attention to gesture. The teacher explains calmly and clearly. Each trait has its own importance, and allows you to learn it over time, practicing. A good course for those looking for a manual activity that requires patience and the desire to get involved.

Unique experience - An intense and transformative experience. Richard Lee guides the course with professionalism and delicacy, making the universe of Chinese calligraphy accessible to beginners. The path begins with an initial meditation that helps to gather and find the right concentration, and then continues with the setting of posture — essential for the gesture — and the study of the first symbols and fundamental traits. The lesson is carefully designed to accompany the student in a progressive evolution, until the creation of a final work that collects and enhances everything that has been learned. A final moment full of meaning, which also leaves a mark on a personal level. Absolutely recommended.

Definitely recommend! - I was lucky to have individual experience, I learned a lot about old Chinese culture and calligraphy thanks to Richard. It was so relaxing, where you don’t even feel how the time passes. I definitely recommend! It’ll give you time to forget about your worries and feel😊

Calligraphy is a super fun thing to do! - I had a wonderful time! Even though I was lost on my way over here. Richard came and met me and led me to the class. Thank you God. I learned a lot and I'm coming back soon for my second lesson.

Held inside busy shopping centre - It was interesting to try a range of different brush strokes, but the experience was a little disappointing overall. The class was held inside a busy shopping centre and began with a video on an iPad showing us the history of calligraphy. Our host David was very friendly, but we weren’t really guided throughout the class beyond the initial instructions. Perhaps it would be good to see some examples of calligraphy from the teacher rather than a video that I could watch online. We did enjoy trying calligraphy, but a better experience was expected for the amount of money spent.
