Empty Hand, Empty Brush

A contemplative immersion into

East-West brush painting

Eastern calligraphy is a type of meditation and also a discipline in centering--starting from the correct postural alignment of the spine, to preparing calligraphic ink, holding the brush correctly as an extension of the arm, and executing the brush stroke in oneness. Learn how to sense your internal energy through Qi-Gong and Tai Chi exercises and apply this awareness to free-flowing calligraphic art.  This workshop offers a unique opportunity to integrate mindfulness and creative expression. Experienced artists and beginners welcome.

Sunday, March 1, 2020 From 1:00 to 3:30pm at Union + Co and Art Studio Space,

48 Front St. Bath, ME

Cost $45 including materials.

Tickets can be purchased online here or pay by check on the date of the event. If you are paying by check, please RSVP to communitymgr@unionandco.me.
