1-day Beginner Calligraphy Workshop
Persian Nastaʿlīq Script
Registration is now open.
JULY 27
Nastaʿlīq script is traditionally the most predominant style in Persian calligraphy. It was developed in Iran in the 14th and 15th centuries. The script is well known for its fluid style. It has short verticals with no serifs and long horizontal strokes. Nastaʿlīq remains very widely used in Iran, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and some other countries for written poetry and as a form of art.
This condensed workshop is designed to get to know the basics of hand-lettering but open as well as for those with previous experience who want to improve their handwriting skills.
Hands-on practice will be combined with on-site demonstrations, live feedback, short informal lectures and Q&A.
Please note that the workshop has a limited capacity of 10 participants, with a minimum requirement of 5 attendees. Attendance is only accepted through online registration.
Join me for a zen, fun and informative workshop.
