Chinese Calligraphy Experience — Celebrate the 2026 Year of the Fire Horse

Join us for a fun, hands-on Chinese calligraphy session where you'll learn the art of beautiful brush strokes! This is a perfect chance to dive into tradition, express your creativity, and celebrate the fiery spirit of the upcoming Year of the Fire Horse.
