question about calligraphy if someone knows.

[typophile]

Since im relocating in singapore next week,
my main job is calligrapher - type designer
so i'm trying to figure out where i can get
some lessons about chinese calligraphy.

i have contact The Chinese Calligraphy Society of Singapore
but unfortunately they only answered me that they
dont have any class or lessons for foreigners

If someone has any tip about it, will be appreciated it

You may wish to look for an introduction course into Mandarin and Chinese Culture, they sometimes have the workshops at Universities, or even the Community centres...

If you have a month free, i would go to the cultural University in Beijing, it's very good, and cheap with accommodation on campus. It's the Beijing language institute, I also believe they used to have a school in Singapore, best thing to do is drop them a letter, to the Beijing office and ask if they still have the courses in Singapore. I had a great 9 months in Beijing, although the smog was really bad back then.

Thats a great suggestion,
at least even as optional in the future
i will try see what classes i can get in Singapore
coz i wont be able to leave for a month, at least
at this point.

Thx for share!

The Chinese Chamber course is pretty good, one of my friends attended it and found it a great experience!

I went to the partime course in Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts . But it takes like one semster about 3 to 4 months. Lots of foreigners in my class though. I had a good time.
