Our Story

Qin Yi Calligraphy Foundation was started to share the beauty of Chinese calligraphy. It was created by two sisters, Wenqin Li and Sunny Li, who grew up practicing calligraphy and loving Chinese culture.

What began as a family hobby has now become a nonprofit group where children, students, and community members can come together to learn and enjoy this art.

Our Mission & Vision

Mission: To make Chinese calligraphy open to everyone and to inspire creativity, culture, and learning.
