Welcome the Year of the Horse with Virtual Lunar New Year Calligraphy Workshops
As the Year of the Horse approaches, it's the perfect time to embrace culture, creativity, and new traditions from home. Jojo Liu invites you to celebrate the season through two live virtual workshops centered on the graceful practice of Chinese calligraphy. These special classes offer a hands-on way to explore the symbolism and artistry behind Lunar New Year customs—no experience required.
In one of the workshops, participants will be introduced to the rhythm and flow of Chinese brushwork. Jojo will guide learners through foundational techniques, including stroke order, brush control, and the structure of traditional characters. The session will focus on writing celebratory phrases that reflect the spirit of the New Year, offering participants a chance to create meaningful calligraphy to hang in their homes. It’s a relaxed and engaging format that welcomes both beginners and those returning to the brush.
For those who enjoy crafting something festive, Jojo is also hosting a live online workshop dedicated to the art of writing couplets. These vertical red banners are a cornerstone of Lunar New Year décor, traditionally hung near entrances to invite prosperity and joy. In this 60-minute guided experience, participants will design their own couplets from start to finish, learning how to compose characters with intention and balance. The result is a beautiful and personal expression of seasonal well-wishes, perfect for celebrating the new year with purpose.
Both sessions are offered virtually and are open to participants across the country. Whether you're looking to deepen your connection to Chinese traditions or simply want to try something new, these workshops offer a welcoming space to explore calligraphy in a meaningful way.
