Welcome the Year of the Fire Horse – Chinese Ink Painting, Calligraphy and Woodblock Printing Workshop
✨A Steed’s Leap to Triumph·馬到成功  🐎

Product Description

Celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year with a creative and uplifting Chinese ink painting, calligraphy and woodblock printing workshop, welcoming the Year of the Fire Horse.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners and offers a guided, step-by-step introduction to traditional techniques combined with festive symbolism.

Age Guidance

  • Designed for adults

  • Children aged 12+ are welcome

  • Children aged 8–11 must attend with an adult, and both participants must book an individual space

What You Will Learn

  • Confident brush control and expressive ink strokes

  • Layering, movement, and energetic ink washes

  • Adding inscriptions (題款) and poetic calligraphy to complete your artwork

Theme: A Steed’s Leap to Triumph· (馬到成功)

Inspired by the Horse, a powerful symbol of strength, freedom, passion, and success in Chinese culture.
The Fire Horse year represents courage, creativity, and forward momentum—encouraging us to embrace new opportunities with confidence.

During the workshop, you will create works featuring:

  • The Horse, symbol of the Lunar New Year

  • Seasonal flowers such as Narcissus (水仙) and Plum Blossom (梅花)

  • Woodblock printing, including a galloping horse 馬到成功 and the character 福 (good fortune)

In this workshop, you’ll create your own ink painting of a Fire Horse paired with plum blossoms or Chinese daffodils. You’ll also write calligraphy with meaningful phrases on red xuan paper, and print your own New Year decorations featuring a galloping horse and the symbol of good fortune (福).

Your final ink painting artwork will be created on pre-mounted xuan (rice) paper, while the printing artwork will be on red Xuan paper, ready to frame or display at home. 

The year of fire horse starts on 17th Feb. 2026 but we traditionally start to decorate the house a few weeks before to bring the positive energies in.
