⁠This workshop introduces participants to the two main traditions that have left a lasting mark on the art of calligraphy: the Persian school and the Ottoman school.

Guided by master calligraphers Bahman Panahi and Nuria Garcia Masip, participants will explore the tools and materials of the calligrapher, learn basic writing techniques, and discover the aesthetics and philosophy that define these two distinct schools.

⁠The workshop concludes with an experiential workshop on Musicalligraphy—a contemporary conceptual approach created by Bahman Panahi using traditional tools. Uniting the hand, the eye, and the ear, participants will be introduced to the musicality of ⁠calligraphy through ink, gesture, and rhythm.⁠
