Introduction
Chinese New Year is also known as Spring Festival. The festival celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. The next Chinese New Year is celebraed on the 10th of February 2023. 

The Chinese New Year is associated with several customs, such as having a big family dinner, lion dance and making paper-cuts. Hanging up 對聯(duilian) couplets on red paper (meaning good fortune, happiness, wealth, and longevity) is important during the celebrations of the new year. People take off last year’s couplets and hang new ones around the door to welcome the new year and blessings. 

What are we going to do in this workshop? 
This workshop consists of two afternoons, under the guidance of Cara Yuan:
1.
You will be doing Chinese calligraphy on traditional red paper. Depending on your calligraphy experience, you can write individual characters such as: 福 (good fortune), 春 (spring), 壽 (longevity) or couplets with new year blessings on two long red paper strokes. 
2. To give your home even more atmosphere, we will also make Chinese paper cuttings of characters and motifs with red paper.

Chinese tea and some sweets or foods which connect to the new year celebration will be served during this workshop.
All the materials are included. 

Join us and lets decorate your house with your own calligraphy works and bring good luck to your home!
