| Description For nearly 14 centuries, calligraphy has been the most important medium of artistic expression in Islamic culture. This is due to it being the noblest of the visual arts in the Muslim World. Thus calligraphy itself was considered a major art. Great calligraphers, who introduced new styles of forming the script, were more famous than great painters, and calligraphy was not only the affair of the craftsman, it was also practiced by many learned people and even by sultans. Explore this side of Islamic heritage and learn the art of Islamic Calligraphy with a qualified calligraphy teacher at Darul Arqam.

£10.00 for calligraphy set. We request a retainer of £21 which will be returned on attendance of at least 6 sessions.
