Bring Tradition Home: Virtual Calligraphy Classes for Lunar New Year
As the Lunar New Year approaches, homes fill with color, tradition, and the joyful anticipation of a fresh beginning. This coming Year of the Horse, Jojo Liu invites you to celebrate with intention and creativity through two special online calligraphy workshops that honor the beauty and meaning behind this festive season.
The first offering, the Lunar New Year Calligraphy Class (Virtual), introduces participants to the art of Chinese calligraphy with a focus on seasonal themes. In this hands-on session, Jojo will guide students through foundational brush techniques, proper stroke order, and the writing of auspicious New Year phrases. With step-by-step instruction, participants will not only learn the basics of calligraphy but also complete their own elegant artwork to display at home during the holiday. No prior experience is required, but registration is necessary to attend.
For those looking to take their celebration further, the DIY Chinese New Year Couplet Workshop (Live Online) offers a more focused exploration of one of the most cherished traditions of the season. Couplets, typically hung on doorways to invite good fortune, are written with poetic care and symbolic intent. In this 60-minute virtual workshop, Jojo will teach students how to craft their own couplets, covering essential elements like brush control, structure, and meaning behind each character. Participants will leave with personalized decorations ready to bring joy and blessings to their homes for the new year.
These workshops are more than creative projects—they are moments to slow down, reflect, and engage with tradition in a meaningful way. Whether you're new to Chinese calligraphy or returning to it with fresh eyes, these virtual events offer a thoughtful and culturally rich way to welcome the Year of the Horse.

Chinese Calligraphy as a Practice of Attention and Expression
In a world where everything moves quickly, where messages are typed and sent in an instant, the deliberate act of picking up a brush and forming a character offers something rare: stillness. Chinese calligraphy is not just a cultural tradition or visual art—it is a practice of presence. Every stroke made by the brush is the result of breath, timing, and choice. You cannot rush it, and you cannot undo it. That is what gives it life.
For many students who join Jojo Liu’s classes, the experience begins with curiosity—how do I hold the brush, how do I form a line? But as the lessons unfold, something deeper happens. Calligraphy becomes less about creating the perfect character and more about listening to movement itself. The softness of the brush, the flow of the ink, the texture of the paper—all of these materials require you to pay attention. They invite you to slow down.
This is where calligraphy reveals its true purpose. It is not about flawless writing. It is about learning how to be present with your own hand, your own breath, your own mistakes. The paper does not expect perfection. It only receives what you give it, honestly and completely.
Jojo’s work as a calligraphy artist and teacher is grounded in this understanding. Whether teaching at public libraries, cultural centers, or through private virtual lessons, her approach is never about rigid technique for its own sake. It’s about opening a door—for a child learning their first strokes, for an adult rediscovering cultural roots, or for anyone seeking a quiet, tactile way to reconnect with themselves.
Through years of sharing this art form, Jojo has witnessed how calligraphy transcends language. Many of her students do not read Chinese, yet they feel what the brush is saying. It speaks through rhythm and movement, not just through the character itself. That’s the heart of this practice—it allows us to speak without words and to listen without sound.
If you're looking for something deeper than a hobby, if you're seeking a creative space where time slows down and attention comes naturally, Chinese calligraphy may be what you’ve been missing. It asks only that you show up, hold the brush, and begin.
