Tip top - I had no previous knowledge for the calligraphy techniques. Richard was very patient and helpful in his instructions. I truly believe everyone would have positive takeaways following the lesson.

Relaxing and inspiring - Amazing experience! Very informative and relaxing. We went with kids 12 and 14 years old. First we learn the basics of holding the brush then we practiced with ink. Finally we made it on canvas we can hang on the wall at home. The booking, the schedualing and the arriving to the meeting point, was very easy. The guide was patience and supporting with good English. We also get a brush to practice at home! very inspired ! We enjoyed it alot! P.s The guide also takes pictures of you while you practice so don't worry about documenting yourself 😉 .

Relaxing and beautiful - Richard was very pleasent, we started with a relaxation, relaxing our armsm shoulders and plams. We were asked to flow like water, attuning to the brush. Then we practiced writing "Happiness" using ancient chinese letters. The experience was very relaxing and focusing. We practiced on paperm while drinking tea having short rests, and in the end we cereated a beautiful red canvas with the word "Happiness" that we are taking with us 😍 love it and recommend it.

A truly enriching experience - I highly recommend this Chinese calligraphy class. Richard went above and beyond—he was patient, thorough, and clearly passionate about sharing the art. He took the time to explain and demonstrate each step, which made the experience not only educational but also very therapeutic. His lovely assistant, Fiona, was also professional and a delight to work with. A truly enriching experience!
