SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – Gallery at the VAULT is very pleased to offer Chinese Calligraphy and Chinese Poetry with Jonathan Root on Saturday, March 25, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. This is a relaxing, informative, and enjoyable class.
You will study Chinese poetry and its relation to Chinese calligraphy. Selected poems will be provided, along with an analysis of several basic styles. Calligraphy is a meditative practice, which focuses the spirit into the brush, each stroke reflecting the state of mind of the writer.
