About Li
Educator and artist committed to making Chinese calligraphy accessible to all levels of students, and helping students foster a regular practice.
Deep competence in Chinese culture through academic, personal history. Has taught at university level for over 10+ years (PhD UC Berkeley). Training as a historian informs my approach.
Have taught Chinese calligraphy in public workshops (museum, university, commercial venues), ongoing classes (art studio), and more informal community settings (tea house). Have also published on calligraphy (design journal).
