The workshop included a short tour of Minoru Nomata’s exhibition, Windscape, at the De La Warr Pavilion, followed by a presentation that provided a fascinating insight into the history and philosophy of the art of shodo. The workshop was an opportunity to learn new skills through warm up exercises. After learning about the materials and brushstroke methods, participants then progressed to create their very own piece of Japanese kanji calligraphy, using ink and brush on washi paper.

This workshop made it possible for participants to learn and enjoy the beauty of shodo. All materials were provided, including light snacks and refreshment.
