Description

Step into a serene studio in Beijing's ancient Liulichang cultural district and choose your path to becoming a Chinese artisan. We offer a bridge to traditional Chinese art. We believe that the best experience is one that is chosen by oneself. In this workshop, you are no longer just a spectator, but a creator. Choose the form of art that best inspires your creativity from the three classic forms, deeply experience it and create a unique and exclusive souvenir of your own. Your Creative Journey Awaits – Choose Your Art: The Meditation of Ink (Calligraphy): Find focus and flow as you learn the ancient art of brushstrokes. Create a powerful single character, like 'Fortune' (福), on traditional rice paper. The Elegance of the Fan (Fan Painting): Paint your own masterpiece on a delicate silk round fan. Choose a classic motif like bamboo or orchids, and create a functional work of art. The Seal of Identity (Seal Carving): Craft your very own Chinese name chop—a traditional stamp used for centuries as a signature. Learn to carve the characters and leave with your unique seal. This is more than a class; it's a personal journey into China's artistic soul. You'll leave with not just a memory, but a beautiful, hand-made souvenir and the pride of having created it. Perfect for travelers who want an authentic, hands-on cultural experience tailored to their interests.
