Calligraphy & Tea 書道+茶道

UPDATE: Please note that due to the instructor's schedule and the limitations of our space, SHODO calligraphy classes are temporarily on hiatus until we are able to hold them again safely. Thank you for your understanding.
SaBi Tea Arts now offers SHODO calligraphy class twice monthly with one class per month followed by matcha in the tea room. Certified calligraphy instructor Kazuko Ikegawa will provide tips and critiques during the on-site sessions as well as providing sample texts on seasonal subjects for self-study between sessions. Students are free to choose their preferred style and level of study, using the provided texts or bringing examples of their own selection for personalized feedback from the instructor. No prior experience is necessary -- all levels are welcome!
Please note: students will be asked to provide their own calligraphy supplies--brush, ink stone, ink (stick or liquid), and paper. (Felt for under the paper and a paperweight are also recommended.) Please contact us if you do not have these supplies and need advice on where to acquire them locally.
Once per month, participants will be served matcha and a seasonal sweet in the tea room after the focused calligraphy practice.
We hope you can join us for this meditative break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Two Mondays per month, 2–4 pm.
See the latest News entry or the Calendar for upcoming session dates.
Fee: $25 per session (incl. GST). Advance registration is required.
