​​Why Calligraphy?
​- from Kate

​During the Easter holidays, I was so annoyed to see my 14Y boy spend hours and hours in his room with his computer, Nintendo switch, mobile phone and...screens!  Together with bribery and threat, I managed to make him join me for one hour of calligraphy practice. I set up the paper, brush and ink on our dinner table, turned on his ‘Lofi Study Music’, and put some chocolate cookies on a plate.  He sat down and started to write. We chatted, wrote, ate...one hour flew by!  It was the best mother and son time we have had in a long time. At the end he said to me ‘Your thing is actually very calming.’  I was so thrilled and suggested ‘Let’s do it again next holidays.’ He ran away without a reply but with a smile…
​
This gave me the idea to run this workshop. In this noisy, screen filled world, let calligraphy practice transport your children to a place of calm and relaxation, even if it is only one hour.
