We'd signed Olivia up for a calligraphy class at a local nonprofit organization that is committed to supporting area families who have adopted children from China. Beni first found out about the group quite randomly nearly three years ago—she’d dropped in their business during a chocolate-themed tour of downtown businesses, at which time she coughed up her e-mail address for a piece of cake.They send her all sorts of information regarding Chinese adoptions, but also a calendar of events they hold at their headquarters. Based on the positive experience Olivia and Beni had while participating in their Chinese New Year celebration back in February, we decided to try our hand—rather Olivia's hand—at the art of brush and black ink.
Our burgeoning artist proved to be a quick study: she was able to produce a boscage of bamboo shortly after receiving instructions from the teacher.
