What is origami & calligraphy
Origami: is the art of paper folding to create a sculpture. Common creations include animals, flowers and geometric shapes.
Calligraphy: in Chinese culture calligraphy is regarded as an art form that combines aesthetics with writing.
Our style of class
Our Chinese calligraphy and origami class is fun and focuses on health benefits from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective:
Regular practice of Chinese calligraphy improves gross motor function, while origami focuses on fine motor skills.
Numerous acupuncture channels connect the fingers to Chinese medicine internal organs, utilising hand function can positively affect the health of these organs.
The kidney has a significant connection with the brain. According to the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, kidney-essence produces marrow, which generates the spinal cord and ‘fills up’ the brain; hence, it helps to support healthy brain function.
These activities are easy to learn and remember and allow you to continue practicing on your own after attending the class.
