Our Approach
What We Write
Our academy curates poems from China’s rich literary history to use in calligraphy practice, with a focus on the Tang and Song dynasties where art and culture flourished. Our selected poems often revolve around, and celebrate the essence and beauty of each season.
How We Write
We specialise in the exciting and versatile Semi-Cursive Script, also known as XingShu (⾏书) or running script, which originated from the Han Dynasty in China. This calligraphic style is characterised by its flowing and somewhat connected brushwork, falling between Regular Script (Kai Shu 楷书) and Cursive Script (Cao Shu 草书) in terms of formality and legibility. Other main scripts in Chinese Calligraphy.
