Chinese New Year (year of the Fire Horse ) will fall on 17th February 2026, and we know many of you would like to learn how to write Chinese New Year Banners (揮春 Hui Chun) so, the topic will be on how to write Chinese New Year Banners. These calligraphy workshops are suitable for those who have done some calligraphy courses before and would like to learn more about art and culture.

Each of the workshops will run for two hours thirty minutes; the venue is at the bookshop, and we will provide the materials. At the end of the workshop, you will receive some handwritten New Year Banners from the teacher as a gift to take home as well as your own ones.
