CBP Courses

This page includes information on Chinese Brush Painting and Chinese Calligraphy courses, and a list of residential colleges that sometimes have CBP courses (scroll to bottom of page).  See their websites for current course dates.  CBP courses may vary in date and may not be available every term, so CBPS cannot guarantee exactly what is on offer at any time.  CBPS is not responsible for the content of any of these sites.
Always check with the provider for the latest information.  Many teachers and centres are now offering online classes.

Regional CBP groups also offer classes and workshops live and online, so check what is in your area.
