This specific event was presented by The Salt Lake Eastern Art Club and the Davis County Library. The workshop was described as a free event for adult participants where they could learn basic knowledge and skills of Shufa. The undated listing stated that attendees could learn to write several Chinese characters using a Chinese brush and ink, and that all in-class supplies would be provided.
