The Medford Public Library presents part two of a five-week series, Travel Through the Art & History of the Silk Road, led by Hudson Chen and Qi Chen, best-selling authors, artists and art experts. Tonight, you will be introduced to calligraphy from the Silk Road and learn to write your name in a language that communicates to the world. The 90-minute program focuses on community interaction and will include a 45-minute presentation with Q&A, and 45-minute relevant group hands-on participation. It is recommended for a wide range of people, from middle school youth to adults. It is also very suitable for parents, grandparents and children to participate together. Space is limited; register through the library’s online calendar.

Remaining sessions in the series, supported by a Medford Arts Council grant, will be on Origami on September 18, Wool and Silk Art on September 25, and Jewelry on October 2.
