Inkwell Shanghai

Inkwell Shanghai is not a single group. Instead, Inkwell Shanghai is comprised of many different subgroups that all contribute to the arts collective that is Inkwell. Each year, our organization grows, and we dream a little bigger, but for the sake of clarity, I’ll list all the different branches of the workshop that are currently active. If you are at all interested in joining any of these workshops, please contact Ry at his WeChat, texaswriter.
