JAPANESE CALLIGRAPHY

Join artist Chiyo Sanada for a 2-hour introductory class in Japanese calligraphy at Tolmie State Park! In celebration of Springtime in Japan, the class will focus on creating the kanji (Japanese character) that means "sakura cherry blossom," an important image in Japanese culture and history. Students will learn about the tools and basic brush strokes of calligraphy as well as the springtime traditions of Japan, and come home with their own work of calligraphy on paper. All necessary tools and materials will be provided. Supplies available for 40 participants, first come, first served.
