Wonderful traditional and modern Japanese art experience. - My husband and I had a great time learning both calligraphy and also how to make digital Japanese painted postcards called etegami. The first half of the class are teachers helped us improve our brush stroke work and explained the Zen approach that calligraphy takes. We were able to create a take-home piece and then enjoy some Japanese snacks and tea. The class rounded out with learning how to create Japanese painted postcards on procreate through the iPad. The iPad and Apple pencil were provided. Our favorite aspect was the combination of traditional and current art media format. It was a relaxing, informative, and all around lively experience. I highly recommend this experience.
