This August, our Society proudly presents “To: You, an ink on note exhibition”, an exhibition of works on notepaper. “To: You” follows up on our forays into traditional miniature formats; past exhibitions included paintings on Chinese fans.
What are “notepapers”?
Notepapers were used in ancient times for letter writing, measuring 3-4 inches – about the size of an envelope today. Besides being a way to showcase calligraphy and painting, it also contains rich literary contents; even the paper itself is exquisite.
This exhibition will take notepapers as a medium for the presentation of calligraphy, ink painting, and seal carving and our members’ heartfelt expressions, putting a spin on this ancient method of communication. All are welcome!
9 – 14 August 2022
Tuesday (9 August): 12pm – 8pm
Wednesday – Saturday (10 August – 13 August): 11am – 8pm
Sunday (14 August): 11am – 6pm

来临8月,本会将举办《心笺上》啸涛 “信笺展”。这是继往年啸涛所举办的 “小品展”、“扇面展”、“成扇展”之后,本会的另一尝试。
何谓 “信笺”?
古代的信纸叫 “信笺”,三四寸余,和今天一张普通信封差不多大。信笺艺术除了从书法,绘画的角度欣赏以外,还可阅读其丰富优雅的内容,就连信纸本身也很赏心悦目。
本次展览将以古人通讯过程中常用到的“信笺”为媒介,将书法、国画、印章 搭配起来,传达啸涛会员们心尖上的点滴情感,呈现一幅幅颇具创意的“信笺”组合。欢迎各位届时莅临观赏!
展出时间:2022年 8月9日-14日
周二:中午12时 – 下午8时
周三至周六:上午11时- 下午8时
周日: 上午11时 – 下午6时

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
