I have booked this class on a whim and I think it was meant to be. It was and unforgettable experience I can recommend. It's my first time in China and thanks to this class I think I'm having a great start here :)

Summary:
The lesson contained not only the practical side, but also the theoretical. We learned how to master calligraphy and how to practice on our own. The works we get to take home are going to make an amazing memory we’ll be looking back at when we return from China.
