I really enjoyed Lucy's calligraphy class! Her explanation of the culture and history of Chinese calligraphy was very interesting and informative, and she was so patient and helpful when we were practicing our calligraphy. She answered a lot of questions I had about calligraphy and it was clear she really has a lot of knowledge on the subject. The class is in a lovely space in the heart of the city, a very welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. Whether you're just visiting Shanghai or you've lived here for a while, this is a great hands-on experience to learn more about Chinese art & culture!
It was an excellent introduction to Chinese calligraphy and I enjoyed it so much that I have asked for more lessons. Lucy was flexible in her teaching approach and happy to answer questions and adapt to my needs and interests. For example, I wanted to do the final piece of art in regular script rather than seal script. Lucy’s studio is spacious and calming, an ideal place to study calligraphy. Lucy was extremely generous with her time, giving considerably more than the two hour time slot. Her enthusiasm and love of the subject really shows. I also appreciated her ability to answer my questions about the pieces of calligraphy we discussed in a straightforward, clear way. Lucy’s approach feels very honest and genuine.
Lucy's workshop was truly fascinating for beginners in Chinese calligraphy. Her extensive knowledge and engaging theoretical insights make you eager to learn more. Writing your own fan as a keepsake adds a practical touch to the experience. With soothing background music, two hours fly by unnoticed. The cozy space and Lucy's adorable demeanor make the workshop a delightful experience.
A very nice way to get in touch with Chinese language and culture. Lucy is very educational, very knowledgeable and patient and you will have at the end of the two hours a great caligraphic production. I highly recommend this workshop!
We really enjoyed the ambience and the content of the workshop. Lucy is very knowledgeable and supportive.
