| Japanese Calligraphy Workshop for Children | An introduction to the basics - from correct posture and breathing and composing the mind to painting the character/concept of your choice to take home. | A single Japanese character denotes "to draw", "to paint" and "to write" - illustrating perhaps the high artistic esteem in which calligraphy is held throughout Sino-influenced Asia. At the heart of calligraphy, for the character to be properly composed, the mind must be composed. And the mind is composed through correct breathing, posture, discipline - emptying it of delusive thoughts. Traditionally, one begins by observing the rituals of arranging the brushes and water containers; spreading the cloths and paper; then grinding the ink stick on the ink stone. In this workshop, we will start very simply: the hand position - the nature of the paper; then practising simple characters, building to more complex ones. To finish, each person can practise a character/concept of their choice, to be drawn on a single length of paper to take home. Workshop led by Eamonn Lee who graduated in Japanese & Linguistics from Sheffield and the University of Hosei in Tokyo. He has lived and studied in Japan. | Green Shoots, Besson Street |
10- 10.30 am |
