Calligraphy (shufa) is the traditional art of writing Chinese characters, and a fundamental part of Chinese culture. After centuries of evolution, calligraphy has developed into a truly unique art form.

This course will focus on learning how to use Chinese brushes and ink, mastering the basic strokes that underpin Chinese writing (week 1 & 2) and understanding the structure of Chinese characters (week 3 & 4) and finish with your own calligraphy works (week 5). Participants will be introduced to regular script and practice writing calligraphy in this style.

No previous knowledge of Chinese is required. The fees include an introductory writing package (a calligraphy brush, rice papers etc.)

Date & time: 6-8PM on Thursdays, 27 June - 25 July Fees: £80 full price/£72 for current University of Manchester staff and students OR returning Confucius Institute students (who have done calligraphy courses with us in the last 12 months)

Spaces are limited. Please book and pay via our web store to confirm your place.

Price: £80
