This workshop brings the beauty of a realistic full moon together with a classic piece of Hong Kong's visual heritage.

Participants will paint a detailed moon on a round canvas and overlay it with traditional Beiwei Ziti (北魏體) calligraphy—the iconic, bold script historically seen on Hong Kong's neon signs and traditional shopfronts.

Representing "Flowers bloom, moon is full" (花好月圓), it is a timeless blessing of harmony and reunion. 🌕

🌙✨ 七夕快乐 | Happy Qixi Festival ✨🌙

七夕，是中国传统节日中一个关于相逢、思念与情感的日子。

传说中，牛郎与织女一年一度在鹊桥相会。千百年来，这个故事也让七夕承载了人们对于陪伴、牵挂与美好情感的想象。

在这个特别的日子里，Ricefield Arts 祝大家七夕快乐。
愿我们珍惜生命中每一次真诚的相遇，也珍惜那些跨越时间与距离依然存在的温柔与连接。 💕🌌

🌙✨ Happy Qixi Festival! ✨🌙

Qixi is a traditional Chinese festival associated with love, reunion and longing. This year, it falls on tomorrow 19th August.

According to legend, the lovers Niulang and Zhinü are reunited once a year across a bridge formed by magpies. Over generations, their story has made Qixi a celebration not only of romantic love, but also of connection, companionship and the people we hold close.

On this special day, everyone at Ricefield Arts wishes you a very happy Qixi Festival.

May we cherish every meaningful encounter, and all the warmth and connection that remain with us across time and distance. 💕🌌

🎨🖌️ A Full House for Our Zen-Inspired Painting Workshop 🌿

What a wonderful afternoon at Ricefield Arts!

Our Zen-Inspired Landscape Painting Workshop was fully booked, bringing together participants for an hour of creativity, mindfulness and quiet reflection.

Inspired by the philosophy of Zen Buddhism (禅宗), participants explored expressive brushstrokes, peaceful landscapes and the beauty of simplicity. Rather than focusing on perfection, everyone was encouraged to slow down, enjoy the creative process, and embrace the present moment.

It was lovely to see so many people taking time out from busy lives to paint, reflect and connect through art in such a calm and welcoming atmosphere.

A special thank you to our wonderful artist, Fiona, Fiona Tong for sharing her creativity, warmth and thoughtful guidance throughout the session. Her gentle approach helped create a peaceful and inspiring experience for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We hope you left feeling a little more relaxed, refreshed, and connected to both creativity and the spirit of Zen.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Ricefield Arts soon! 🍃✨

Rather than a formal language lesson, this relaxed session offers participants a light and enjoyable introduction to the sound and rhythm of Mandarin through music. Together, we will learn a few useful greetings and expressions, explore their pronunciation, and practise them through singing and interactive activities.

Participants will also discover aspects of Chinese culture through songs and stories, making this a welcoming cultural experience for families, children and adults.🎤

An exciting opportunity for language learners!

Slow down, breathe, and discover the beauty of simplicity. 🍃🎨

In this mindful painting workshop, you'll explore expressive brushstrokes, allowing your intuition to guide the creative process as a peaceful landscape gradually takes shape. Rather than focusing on perfection, you'll be invited to enjoy each moment of painting with curiosity and presence.

Inspired by the Zen (禅宗) concept of the ensō (圆相), we'll complete each artwork with a hand-painted circle—a symbol of harmony, wholeness and living in the present moment. Through gentle guidance, layered painting techniques and quiet reflection, this workshop offers a relaxing space to reconnect with creativity and embrace the beauty of imperfection.

Whether you're new to painting or simply looking for a peaceful, creative pause, you're warmly welcome to join us.

Join us for a calm and reflective painting workshop focused on slowing down, quieting the mind, and enjoying the simple act of making.
