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.
