Starting from June 8, 2013 I am teaching another small class of Chinese Traditional Mounting Procedures. I have four students, all members of IU Calligraphy Club, who are eager to learn this ancient method of mounting to make their calligraphy works presentable. We are planning to meet every Saturday morning for 5 times to complete the course. There are two more sessions to go, hoping we will have a smooth going.

    I understand that in the 1950s, Robert van Gulik actually wrote a book on this topic, in English: "Chinese Pictorial Art as Viewed By the Connoisseur: Notes on the Means and Methods of Traditional Chinese Connoisseurship of Pictorial Art, Based Upon a Study of the Art of Mounting Scrolls in China and Japan."

    Hi, Vladimir,
    What a surprise to hear from you about my Mounting class. Thank you for sharing with me the book you mentioned. I will try to take a look if I can learn something from it.
    Keep in touch.
    James
