Henry J. Josefsberg, Esquire, is an attorney, photographer, filmmaker and art historian.
But a completely different area of his expertise had guests lining up to learn from him at the Cultural Alliance of Long Beach’s recent Cherry Blossom Festival.
Henry is an expert on Asian calligraphy! At the Cherry Blossom Festival, he invited guests to choose one of a number of Chinese characters. Then, he patiently talked each visitor through creating the character he or she had selected.
Henry talked about a lesson he himself had recently learned, about his art. He also gave details on his upcoming beginners’ calligraphy class, which he’ll be teaching in downtown Long Beach in June.
Henry will be teaching beginning calligraphy classes through CSULB’s Osher Life Long Learning Institute, Tuesdays at 5:30, starting July 9th. Classes run through August 13th, at the Cultural Alliance facility in downtown Long Beach, on Pine Avenue at Seventh. Advance registration is required; for more information, e-mail olli@csulb.edu.
