Persian Calligraphy

Community auntie and artist Parivash teaches the basic strokes of nastaliq – most commonly used for Persian poetry but shared across Arabic, Dari, Pashto & Urdu letters. 

Our workshop sessions first start with a presentation on the general history of calligraphy across cultures. Then, through guided practice, participants write a message in Persian to exercise the basic strokes of lettering for calligraphy. All supplies are provided for use during the session. 

No experience in these alphabets, Farsi, or nastaliq script is required!
