The Practice
Goat hair for softness, wolf for spring, rabbit for precision — students get to know their brush before they ever write a stroke.

Try the Brush
Paint over the character — slower strokes lay thicker ink.
Choose a character
永 is the classic first character — its eight strokes contain every basic move in Chinese calligraphy.
Know the Academy
Brushwork alive in Chengdu — the space, the teachers, the discipline of ink.
Our Story
Founded in Chengdu by Master Liú Wén — Sichuan's most respected brush arts centre.
Calligraphy is daily practice: small groups, lineage teachers, first stroke to last.
To learn calligraphy, first learn to be human.
