Calligraphy Workshops

Gyokubai Studio offers monthly workshops for any experience level - let’s begin your Japanese Calligraphy journey together.

In each 2 hour workshop, we cover

  • Introduction to traditional Japanese Calligraphy tools

  • Demo of Basic Brush Stroke Techniques

  • Overview of Japanese Alphabets and “Kanji” Characters

Then we will practice various types of characters and you will make your own personal Shodo work to take home!


“I really enjoyed the introduction to Japanese calligraphy.
Naoko is a supportive, encouraging and patient teacher who clearly explained the methods we needed to use. It was great to learn to write a few characters by the end of the short session and I am looking forward to joining her again for future workshops!”

- Workshop Attendee, February 2024

Corporate/Private Events

Looking for something a little more personal? I create bespoke sessions for private groups, ideal for work parties, team building days, or something a little different to discover with friends and family.

These sessions can be hosted in your chosen location or we can discuss alternative options.
