Seal Carving—as an important part of traditional Chinese art—carries the dual charm of calligraphy and engraving. Using the knife as a brush, it reveals the power of lines and the beauty of antiquity within just a few square inches. From Qin and Han dynasty seals to the diverse schools of the Ming and Qing, seal carving has evolved from a practical craft into an art form that integrates calligraphic cultivation, aesthetic sensibility, and personal expression.
Teaching Philosophy
Focused on both copying and creation, the program emphasizes systematic study and deep exploration of traditional seals while also paying attention to the development of contemporary styles.
