Slow down and rediscover your focus in a quiet San Jose studio where ink, tea, and creativity take over your afternoon! You join a Chinese calligraphy class and a tea digital detox workshop designed to help you step away from screens and reconnect with focus while exploring Chinese culture through brush and ink. In this calligraphy class, you learn how to write in Chinese by practicing essential strokes across different scripts in a calm, guided setting!
Instead of just practicing on paper, you create a handmade calligraphy piece, such as a bookmark or decorative scroll, to take home, turning learning into meaningful creative activities. Between brushstrokes, you pause with tea and traditional snacks that support a peaceful, home-style studio atmosphere in San Jose. The setting is intimate and welcoming, with small groups that allow steady guidance and a relaxed pace.
The workshop is led by Yichao, founder of MoStudio, who has taught Chinese calligraphy workshops for organizations including Tesla, DoorDash, Tencent, and the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, along with cultural gatherings and design work inspired by calligraphy. You leave with a deeper appreciation for Chinese culture, a finished piece of art, and a refreshed mindset from a true digital detox experience, making it one of the more memorable things to do in San Jose!

MoStudio is a cultural space dedicated to the art of Chinese calligraphy, offering a unique blend of immersive cultural experiences and systematic artistic training. We believe that calligraphy is more than just writing; it is a bridge to both ancient heritage and modern mindfulness. Whether you are visiting for a one-time cultural exploration or seeking a long-term, step-by-step path to mastering the brush, our studio provides a structured yet welcoming environment for learners of all backgrounds.
Our curriculum is rooted in a prestigious formal lineage, following the refined traditions of Master Tian Yingzhang, the preeminent modern master of the Ou Style (Regular Script). Our instruction is guided by the heritage of Master Yang Zhihua, a formal disciple of Master Tian and a veteran educator who has founded multiple calligraphy schools in China. This direct connection to a time-honored lineage ensures that every technique we teach is authentic, precise, and grounded in a proven systematic method.
We have intentionally chosen to host our sessions in a private house studio to maintain an intimate, cozy, and small-community atmosphere. This setting allows us to create a quiet, meditative environment where students can truly slow down and connect with the art form away from the noise of commercial spaces.
By keeping our groups small, we provide the personalized, hands-on guidance necessary to master the "architecture" of Chinese characters. At MoStudio, we invite you to discover the timeless elegance of the brush and ink in a space that feels like home!
