Abdulrahman Naanseh, Postponement

Saturday November 30 * 10am * $20-50 * REGISTER

Participants will learn the basics of Arabic calligraphy in an engaging and hands-on session. I will begin with a short presentation about the Arabic language and its rich history in art and culture. Then, attendees will practice writing one or two Arabic words using traditional bamboo pens and ink. This workshop is open to all levels, and materials will be provided.

About the facilitator:
Passionately delving into the abstraction of thoughts and emotions through captivating symbols, I'm a devoted calligrapher. My main focus is innovating Arabic lettering techniques. I also aspire to explore modern expressions in calligraphy, sharing my experiences as a Syrian artist to bridge cultures through compelling compositions. Breaking from classical norms, I embrace contemporary approaches, infusing letters with cultural and human meanings. Using unique color combinations with organic inks, I explore themes dynamically. In my ongoing quest for modern ways to articulate ideas, I delve into life, humanity, and responses to adversity as an artist provoking new perspectives. -Abdulrahman Naanseh
