Went to a calligraphy class with friends, which is a private class just for us. At the end of the lesson, they drew a hieroglyph on a beautiful plaque that they took with them, you can hang it on the wall of the house. There were some nice experiences left, an unusual experience that complemented our trip to China.

Our class in calligraphy was very impressive. Richard was really nice and an excellent teacher to introduce us into important steps in calligraphy, I will definitely keep on practicing. The course was totally worth it. Thank you!

Richard's classes are a perfect instrument to get into Chinese culture in a different way, even for complete ignoramus like me! You learn a lot of things and you still want to learn even more.
It is a totally recommendable activity to have a good time and to know a little more about the exciting Chinese culture, from the hands of a great expert.

We met with Richard Li, Master Calligrapher, when walking in Beijing,
He had some beautiful paintings for sale at his gallery, and invited us to a private Calligraphy session. It looks so simple, but is a real art! Later that day Richard took us on a tour through the Hutons which made a great and lasting impression on us, a family with two boys of then 7 & 10. Whenever we return to China, we will reconnect with Richard Li, we miss him. Highly recommended!

My mum, a friend and I attended a private two hour class with Richard Li when my mum was visiting. We all had different levels of experience with writing Chinese characters and doing calligraphy, so our teacher had a hard time on his hands - but he was very patient and gave us all separate characters to write. The class was held in the beautiful studio inside the Sunworld Dynasty Hotel - super convenient and close to the centre of town. There was lots of calligraphy and traditional work around which was really nice to see. We started the class with some lovely tea poured from a traditional tea set which was a really nice touch. He briefly explained the history of what we were doing and patiently corrected our work. We particularly liked focussing on different strokes and repeating the same thing again and again to get it right - it was rewarding to finally get it! overall, a really nice, good value and peaceful activity. Two hours flew by, we weren't bored at all.

Richard is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher. We really enjoyed our class time and he was great about showing us the brush strokes and didn't rush us. The class was also fun and challenging. Definitely will be back!

My friends and I had a private class with Richard. It was so nice! Since we scheduled an afternoon class, Richard was kind enough to show us a place to grab lunch beforehand. After lunch, we headed into the hotel where the studio is (it's a very nice hotel and studio). This was our first class ever and Richard did a great job of not only showing us the basics of calligraphy but also sharing with us some history too. It's so fascinating and a true art form. It's way harder than it looks but Richard was so patient and so helpful. It was fun not only learning the one stroke but then also learning how to write our names and the characters for love and happiness. We got so into it that we ended up doing a two hour session. I really enjoyed learning calligraphy and would recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience some Chinese culture. It really makes you appreciate the art (there is also artwork available for purchase too). Richard was very knowledgeable and friendly with very good English.

My husband and I really enjoyed this calligraphy class. Richard was kind enough to try and teach us as much as possible in 1.5h, considering that it takes years to learn this art. He was very patient with us and his teaching is excellent. A must for those with patience and artistic skills!

About three years ago me and my friend went to Beijing on vacation.
After three days those three years ago we met this casual guy just walking in the street outside our hotel.
He went up to us and introduced himself to us as The Young Master Calligrapher.
Richard showed us his gallery/workshop, his skills in calligrapyh and tried to teach us this amazing way to paint pictures with calligraphy/words/letters, and he quickly became our friend.
He is also a great guide to show you which attractions that are really worthwhile to take a look at while you are in Beijing like: from the Great Wall, shows, temples, parks, to just simple strolls/walks/bicycling in the local streets/cities and fishing.
And if you want to go to other cities in China than Beijing he can also arrange that too.
He has an unbelivable overview where to eat local tasty beijing food, and bars with reasonable prices.
He also does some photography.
I highly recommend Richard as a guide because he is a friendly and patient guy and he can also help you out if your chinese isn't the best, and so you won't get scammed in certain places.
He can speak english pretty well so he is easy to understand.
Check out his youtube video to learn more about the art of calligraphy or just simply email him.
Me and my friend went back to Beijing a couple weeks ago after three years just for thoose reasons above, and had a great time.
Look Richard lee up if you are in Beijing to get a time you won't forget, its really worth it.
