Calligraphy you can take home - 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.

Fantastica esperienza con maestro Richard - A Morning to Remember with Master Richard If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience in Beijing, look no further than a calligraphy class with Master Richard. We spent a fantastic morning in an authentic hutong, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. Our day started with some incredible dumplings—they were so delicious! It was the perfect way to get energized for the lesson ahead. Then, we dove into the world of Chinese characters. Richard isn't just a teacher; he's a true master of his craft. He made what could be an intimidating art form incredibly approachable and fun. He's so talented and patient, and his passion for calligraphy is contagious. He expertly guided us, showing us the proper strokes and techniques until we were creating our own beautiful characters. This wasn't just a lesson; it was a cultural immersion. We learned about the history and meaning behind the characters, all while enjoying a relaxed and genuine atmosphere. Thank you, Richard, for a truly magical morning! If you're in Beijing, do yourself a favor and book a class with him. Just give him a call! You won't regret it.
