SUMMARY:Zen Brush Art Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join One Heart Sangha and Washington Ethical Society for a Zen brush art workshop. Sensei Bob JinGen Ertman\, who has studied brush art and calligraphy extensively with Japanese masters\, will be leading the workshop.  \n\n\n\n\n\nEnso by Sensei Bob\n\n\n\n\n\nBrush art is a Japanese art form typically featuring natural subjects\, Japanese characters\, or traditional shapes like the circular enso. Zen brush art emphasizes spontaneity and minimalism\, contrasting black ink and white paper. There is no right or wrong in Zen art\, only what is present for the artist in the moment each brush stroke is made. \n\n\n\nAdvance registration is required so we can be sure we have enough space and materials on hand. The workshop is free. It will be in the large downstairs classroom at Washington Ethical Society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you would like to support the organizers\, we welcome you to donate to Washington Ethical Society\, who is generously providing space for the workshop. \n\n\n\nIf you have questions\, write info@oneheartsangha.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInkbush image designed by  Freepik – Magnific.com
