Tết craft workshop – mini Tet calligraphy hangings – FULL

THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL. PLEASE RSVP FOR THE WAITING LIST. THANKS

This is what we hope will be an annual event in the run up to Tet and the 2nd time we have held this workshop.

There are many symbolic and important practices in the run up to and during Tet. One of them are the Tet calligraphy hangings.

At this time of year people may want some particular characters, in which their wishes and dreams for the new year are laid out – such as Phuc (Happiness), Loc (Wealth), Tho (to be long-lived), Duc (Virtue), Tri (Knowledge) or Tai (Talent). Those characters are then hung on walls like targets and reminders of them for people to strive in that year

During this morning – we will learn the meanings and importance of specific words that are used on the calligraphy hangings and Loc, the calligrapher, will instruct in how to write in the style. We  make our our own calligraphy hangings – Lắng nghe mùa xuân về – to bring good wishes for the new year (to be hung e.g on kumquat trees and used as Tet decorations).

Come and join for a cozy few hours workshop where we can also chat more about  the importance of calligraphy and calligraphy decorations  at Tet.

The venue is in Bup and Loc’s tea shop and calligraphy studio in  Cầu Giấy. We start with tea, introduction and chat and then the workshop.  mo
