Intro To Islamic Calligraphy Workshop

  • 46903 Sugarland Rd Sterling, VA 20164 USA (map)

Dive into the world of Islamic Calligraphy!  Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of the Arabic script and join us in an evening of awe-inspiring workshop led by calligrapher Yusuf Karipek!

The workshop is open to Adults (Ages 18+) with a focus on the Thuluth (One Third) script.  This is large, elegant cursive script used on mosque decorations. 

All materials (pens, papers, and ink) will be provided and are fully covered by the ticket cost.  Attendees can keep their pens and paper after the workshop concludes to further improve their skills!

The workshops are targeted at beginners.  If you have little to no practical experience with calligraphy or simply want to learn about the history of the craft, this is the event for you!
