Great time with Richard - One world one heart! - Richard gave us a great lesson in calligraphy. He was very patient with us and taught us all the tricks for making great Chinese calligraphy art! He even gave us a tour later of a buddhist monastery outside of Beijing a few weeks later. He's great teacher and a great friend! One world, one heart!

Calming and enjoyable experience - 老师 was very patient and encouraging with my young daughter - thank you for your gifts and reminder that each of us is unique, and the importance of humility and kindness in all that we do! We enjoyed ourselves in our calligraphy class, and regret that we didn’t have time for the painting class. It’ll have to be next time! Do note that the class was not in a hutong, but in a calm and peaceful bookstore.

Great experience! - Richard was amazing! We had a very enlightening conversation about buddhism at first, and then a 1.5 hr class with just us two. We were late (our fault) and he just adjusted our start time, super flexible. Richard is such a natural teacher, it was a very peaceful experience. I would definitely do it again.

Amazing Cultural Experience - Richard was an incredible man to meet on our travels. He was so knowledgeable about the history of China and Calligraphy. We learnt so much from him. He made an extra effort to come and meet us at the subway and offered us some delicious tea and chat upon arrival. My husband and I left with two beautiful pieces of calligraphy “happiness” to hang in our home. Thank you for your positive, friendly and vibrant personality Richard. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this to everyone!
