SUMMARY:Tết craft workshop (a.m) – Tết calligraphy & mini hangings
DESCRIPTION:5 SPACES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE \nThis is a regular feature in the calendar in the run up to lunar new year.  A fun and informative Tết calligraphy workshop. \nThere are many symbolic and important practices in the run up to and during this occasion\, one of them includes Tết calligraphy and mini Tết hangings. \nAt this time of year people may want to have on display some particular characters which embody their wishes and dreams for the new year a such as phúc (Happiness)\, lộc phát (fortune)\, lộc (wealth)\, thọ (longevity)\, Đức (virtue) and so on. \nLearn about the meanings and importance of specific words that are used on the calligraphy hangings.  Master calligrapher Lộc will instruct in the basics of the calligraphic style\, and we practice first on A4 sheets of normal paper and then on dó paper. We concentrate on writing auspcious words that mean something to us for the new year. And hopefully we feel confident enough to progress to writing some words in the calligraphic style on the  minature red or yellow calligraphy hangings – this is harder than you may think. These are known as  lắng nghe mùa xuân về and they bring good wishes for the new year (to be hung e.g on kumquat trees and used as Tết decorations). \nCome and join this cozy workshop that begins with a small welcoming tea ceremony to bring good wishes for Tết before chatting to Lộc about his work and craft followed by the workshop. \nVenue:  Bup and Lộc’ home/calligraphy studio in Quý Kiến str\, Cầu Giấy. \nMeeting point:  a cafe round the corner\, we walk round together. Information will be in the welcome email sent to those confirmed \nNumbers:  max 10 pax \nVND 390\,000 pp (same for adults and children).
