David partnered with Cass Art in hosting a Chinese Brush painting workshop at their Islington flagship store. This half-day workshop has helped to plug the gap in the London art scene where Chinese art teaching is scarce. The feedback has been positive. In particular, attendees enjoyed learning how to hold a Chinese brush vertically, sketch using clear water on rice paper, and write their names in Chinese calligraphy.
