No prior experience is necessary for this workshop. You will leave the workshop with the ability to work on your own and to continue with more advanced subjects.

Skills acquired can easily be adapted to other art forms such as ceramics, fabric decoration, and Feng Shui. Against a backdrop of meditative music, brush painting is a relaxing way to expand your creative abilities and take part in a several thousand year-old tradition.

The cost for the whole-day workshop is $125 and includes all the materials to be used (Brush, ink, paper, etc.)
