Originating thousands of years ago, ink painting or sumi-e, as it is called, is one of the oldest art forms. Deceptively simple in appearance, sumi-e can be a refuge of inner-peace and self-enlightenment. Learn to find the essence of your subject, its spiritual quality and how to put the whole world in a brush stroke.

Tuition is $210/6 weeks. You can receive a 50% family discount on second tuition if parent and child wish to participate together.
