JAPANESE CALLIGRAPHY
JAPANESE CALLIGRAPHY FOR BEGINNERS
INSTRUCTOR: SACHIKO SNOW
This four week class introduces how to write anything you want such as your name, your favorite word, or your family's name in Japanese. We use a brush and black ink, which is called Sumi to write. You can leave class with a finished piece of art you create. You should wear clothes that can get messy.
FYI, Sachiko also offers a one day workshop version of this class for kids! Click here for more info.
MATERIALS
All supplies are provided with a $20 fee, payable to your instructor at the start of class. You may want to bring a pillow to sit on during class so you are higher up in your chair.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Sachiko Snow is a Japanese calligrapher. She was born and raised in Ibaraki, Japan and started learning Japanese Calligraphy at the age of 9. All throughout her academic years Sachiko enjoyed writing, so much that she would find a quiet space after school and practice calligraphy for hours. Japanese Calligraphy, also known as Shodo, became a way for her to connect to herself, a true form of meditation. She moved to Colorado Springs in 2013 where she had two daughters. Sachiko started writing again and making her own products such as buttons, t-shirts, stickers, and custom-made wall art. She enjoys selling them at local arts and crafts fairs. She started getting more requests to teach calligraphy classes and decided to teach people how to write Japanese with a brush and share her love of Shodo in Colorado.
