About this Event

Join us for an immersive workshop exploring the rich history and diverse forms of Arabic calligraphy. Discover how this art form has evolved over centuries, from its early use in religious texts to its presence in modern art and design. We'll delve into the different styles, such as Kufic, Naskh, and Thuluth, and examine how Arabic calligraphy has been applied in architecture, manuscripts, and everyday objects. The workshop will also include a hands-on session, where you'll have the opportunity to practice basic calligraphy techniques and create your own designs. Whether you're new to calligraphy or looking to expand your skills, this workshop offers both cultural insight and practical experience.


All materials will be provided—just bring your creativity!
