Introduction to Chinese Writing and
Calligraphy
Workshop for School-Age Children and Adults
At the Salem Athenaeum
Together
we will learn about Chinese characters, discover the concepts and rules of
Chinese calligraphy, and make the ink, hold the brush, practice strokes, and
write on rice paper. While you learn
calligraphy, you will discover how to master your mindfulness, your breathing,
and even your movement.
The
instructor is Judy Wang Bedell, who was born, raised, and educated in Beijing
China. Since 2009 she has operated Panda Land, an enterprise in which she
teaches Chinese language and culture to people on the North Shore. She has taught in The Salem Athenaeum,
Peabody Essex Museum, The Phoenix School, and Shore Country Day School.
