2hr Japanese Art experience sessions

書道・絵手紙・墨絵 体験

 

"Art Experience Group”

Held on: The 3rd Wednesday of every month

Duration: 10am- 12pm, 5pm-7pm

​Location: 207 Ash St. Lake Oswego, OR 97034

​​

The Wednesday Two-Hour Art Experience is a flexible and relaxed group, allowing you to explore Shodo, Etegami, or Sumie based on your interests. I will introduce different formats and examples in each area, but the focus is on your enjoyment—you don’t have to follow the instructions exactly.

While instruction will be light, I can offer more hands-on guidance compared to the one-hour Sunday salon experience. For those who are more serious about exploring shodo calligraphy, I highly recommend combining the group salon with private lessons, especially for those interested in working toward a certificate program.

In this 2hr group, you’re welcome to stay for 30 minutes, one hour, or the full two hours—whatever suits you best!​
