Chinese Calligraphy: mindfulness and flow with Joachim Li

Slow down for an afternoon of brush and ink in our little heritage cottage at Headland Park. Tracing the origins of the characters, artist and poet Joachim Li will introduce the foundations of Chinese calligraphy, from holding the brush to the rhythm and breath between each stroke. You’ll practise individual characters and leave with your own finished piece. No experience needed. All materials are provided. For teens and adults. About Joachim Joachim Li (they/them) is a Sydney poet and performer. Their debut poetry collection, Devices of Body, was published by Incision Press in 2026, and they’re part of the Westwords Academy 2026. Their work explores the body, language and identity, and calligraphy brings these together through the art of the written character. When: Saturday 14 November, 2–4pm Where: The Open Studio No. 8, Building 8, Read Place, Headland Park, Mosman (near Frenchy’s Café)
