Join us for a four-day, guided deep dive into Arabic calligraphy and manuscript traditions in Istanbul, Turkiye, in August 2026. Participants will learn the foundational principles of classical scripts in-depth, explore historical manuscripts, visit cultural institutions, and work directly with several master instructors to develop their skills.

Some experience with the Thuluth and Naskh scripts is necessary. This program is not suitable for complete beginners.
