Exhibitions, Demos & Workshop
Exhibitions, workshop and demos
I love connecting with people who have an interest in Chinese art, sharing insights into the philosophies and ancient practices that inspire my work. Whether through exhibitions or art fairs, the fluid brush movements of Chinese painting and calligraphy are well-suited for live demonstrations, offering a glimpse into these traditional techniques.
If you’d like to arrange a demonstration, workshop, or talk for your event or group, feel free to contact me.
Additionally, we offer "The Art of Chinese Tea" sessions, where my assistant Hong presents a traditional Chinese tea ceremony alongside a talk on Chinese tea culture.
Or sign up to my newsletter (link below) if you’d like to catch me at events in both Sussex and London.
