Discover or deepen your calligraphy practice with artist GAO Shuang! This 5-session workshop, with each session lasting 2 hours, will help you build solid foundations or further develop your calligraphy skills. Shuang will also teach you breathing and relaxation techniques, which are essential for mastering the brush. Born in Pékin in 1976 into a family of scholars and artists, she has practiced the art of traditional Chinese painting since the age of eight. From a very young age, she became familiar with classical Chinese artistic techniques: brush, wood, clay, and stone. After earning a master’s degree in Chinese literature and art at Université Qinghua de Pékin in 1998, and spending four years teaching at the preparatory school of the Beaux-Arts de Pékin, she left China for France. There, she specialized in art history and visual arts in Montpellier. From that point on, she began teaching Chinese painting and calligraphy there. Classes are open to everyone aged 15 and over. Dates and times: from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., on Fridays May 22 and 29, and June 5, 12, and 19. Price: €120 / 5 sessions (10 hours total) – or €30 per 2-hour session, with advance booking required.
