Join us at Bill Yadi for an immersive experience in the art of calligraphy, and discover the cultural richness and beauty of this ancient art.
Discovering the Art of Calligraphy
Our workshops begin with an introduction to the art of calligraphy in the Arab world. Participants learn about the history and cultural significance of this ancient art before diving into the practice.
Learning the Basics
The first step is mastering the fundamental rules of calligraphy. Participants learn the rules of measurement, geometry, and aesthetics that structure each calligraphic work. These principles are essential for creating balanced and harmonious pieces.
Practice with Traditional Tools
Next comes the hands-on practice. Participants use traditional calligraphy tools, such as the Kalam (cut reed) and ink, to apply the learned rules. This practical aspect allows for complete immersion and a deep understanding of calligraphic techniques.
Workshop Objectives
- Aesthetics and Harmony: Raise awareness of the importance of aesthetics, balance, and harmony in each calligraphic piece.
- Understanding Geometric Rules: Provide an in-depth understanding of the geometric rules that govern the art of calligraphy.
- Practice with Traditional Tools: Offer practical experience with traditional tools through concrete exercises with the Kalam and ink.
- Creating Connections: Foster a sense of community and connection through the shared experience of artistic creation.
Why Participate?
Registering for our workshops is a unique opportunity to meet new people, share enriching experiences, and immerse yourself in a fascinating traditional art. Each two-hour session is designed to offer a creative escape from the daily routine. For those wishing to deepen their skills, we offer ongoing training sessions that can extend over several months.
