Chinese Calligraphy: An Introduction to Oracle Bone Scripture

Kylie from Hutt City Libraries

Oracle bone scripture (甲骨文) is the earliest known form of Chinese writing and it dates back to 1200BC in China.

War Memorial Library, Sunday 1 September, 2:30pm

Whether you are interested in Chinese culture or expression through writing and painting please join us for an introduction to Oracle bone writing with Yu-Mei Lin!
Includes a chance to practice the writing yourself. All ages welcome.

Please note this was incorrectly advertised in the Hutt News this week as starting at 11am - unfortunately the War Memorial Library doesn't open until 12:15 on Sundays!
