About Linmo
Hey! I’m Yating, founder of Linmo Studio. Now in my seventh year of living and working in Poland, I’ve taken the leap – alongside my day job as a creative producer – to turn a lifelong passion into a profession, teaming up with a Polish partner to open a studio devoted to Chinese calligraphy.
Where does the name LINMO come from?
临 (lín): “to face” the model. You place the stele rubbing or copybook beside you and reproduce every stroke by eye, internalising proportion, rhythm and brush energy.
摹 (mó): “to trace.” You lay translucent paper over the original and follow each line exactly, training muscle memory and brush pressure.
It’s where every great calligrapher began – and our metaphor for life: watch the masters first, then find your own line.
What we care about
Our Values
Heritage
Trace the techniques refined over a thousand years.
Foundation
Strengthen fundamentals - grip, wrist motion, stroke rhythm.
Creativity
Blend tradition with innovation to evolve your unique voice.
Mindfulness
Each breath guides the brush - cultivate calm focus and harmony.
About Studio
Our workshops are held regularly in Warsaw, Poland, where we’ll guide you through every stage of the creative journey—from exploring the origins of Chinese characters, to working with traditional brush, and ultimately producing your own unique piece.
Hosted in collaboration with Karol Pomykała Studio, the sessions take place in a beautiful, green, light-filled space. Workshops are intentionally small—just 5–6 participants. The relaxed atmosphere also makes the workshop ideal for friends or as a cultural exchange experience.
Our workshops differ in duration and techniques covered. If you’d like to grasp the essentials of calligraphy but are short on time, we recommend the “Intro” mini-course. For a deeper dive, the weekly practice program offers a richer exploration of the art.

Looking for a truly special present? On request, we’ll mail you a beautifully printed voucher for one of our workshops.
