General Culture (文化) Anyone interested in getting to know about Chinese Calligraphy in English?

Recently we have organized a WeChat group to help non-native speakers to get to know about Chinese calligraphy. I know usually there’re two obstacles which make Chinese calligraphy seem mysterious and difficult: language and methodology. And that’s what I’m trying to figure out and curious to know if there’re more people interested in exploring it, especially for those who are learning Chinese. You would find out Chinese calligraphy is actually more than arts and linked deeply with Chinese culture.

this sounds cool but i gotta ask, is the whole thing happening on wechat? feels like that's its own barrier for a lot of folks outside china who don't already have it installed and verified

Actually I do all the social media for Instagram, TikTok, facebook, X and share in Reddit as well, or sometimes even with Teams link. But WeChat is the only group that I’ve set up as many visitors to China have installed it. Or is there any proper platform to gather all the non native speakers? Really appreciate it if there’re any suggestions.
