Join Choy Family Arts for a festive, heart warming art workshop!

Perfect for families and children (aged 6+), this session blends traditional Chinese ink art with playful modern wit.

Participants will learn the meaning behind the ancient Chinese character for "Love" (愛). Guided step-by-step, you will combine strokes of traditional Chinese ink with whimsical matchstick characters to craft a truly unique and funny Christmas card.

The creative process blends authentic Chinese ink, professional watercolours and vibrant acrylic paint pens. To top it all off, every guest will hands-on apply shining gilding flakes to create a gallery-quality card to take home!

We aim for our workshops to be as inclusive as possible and invite everyone to attend. However, if the participant has additional needs, please contact us in advance so that we can make our facilitators aware.

Photography and Videography may take place at any of our workshops/events. We will always make you aware before we take any photographs/videos, and if we intend to take shots other than completed artwork, backs of heads or hands, then we will always ask you to complete a permission form beforehand. Should you not wish to be photographed/videoed at all, please inform the photographer/videographer.
