HAPPY PRACTICE！
School of Shodo, Rie Takeda /Calligrapher, artist and lecturer.
Born and raised in Hokkaido, Japan.
Since 2002, I give SHODO calligraphy lessons mainly based on "one to one" private sessions as well as group classes and workshops. Through my teaching experiences in Japan, UK and Europe with multiple age groups and backgrounds, I developed an original effective yet creative way of teaching SHODO, the Mindfulness-Method'. Which I believe works for everyone.
I started practicing Shodo at the age of five under the creative supervision of her grandmother, a distinguished GAYU calligrapher. Later I began to take lessons at a Gayu SHODO calligraphy school. This laid a solid foundation not only for my development of the various layers of calligraphy technique and skills but also for the SUMIE technique in calligraphic design. I work as a freelance artist and a professional calligrapher in U.K./Europe and Japan Since 2000. Besides creating various media of calligraphy works and Neo-Japonism art, my passion for learning and teaching SHODO and the interest in developing the effective method of teaching this beautiful form of art has always been expanding.
