The Sacred Script: Arabic Calligraphy Workshop

In Islamic culture, where figurative art was traditionally discouraged, calligraphy became the ultimate visual expression of the divine. The sweeping curves of the Arabic script are everywhere in Marrakech. Sit with a master calligrapher and learn the discipline of the ink and the reed. You will practice the 'Maghrebi' script, distinct to North Africa with its rounded, flowing forms. It demands patience and breath control. By the end of the session, you will have written a proverb or your name, creating a piece of art that bridges language and image.
