Turkish Calligraphy Workshop in Istanbul
2 h
Clase
Acerca de esta actividad
Meet your guide at your central Istanbul hotel and travel by public transport to your small-group calligraphy workshop. Here, meet your artist instructor and start by watching a demonstration of the ancient art of Islamic calligraphy.
Admire the calligrapher’s delicate yet flowing strokes, and learn how Arabic calligraphy was developed in the writing of the Quran, Islam’s sacred text. Discover how Turkish calligraphy grew from this rich art form, and was used by the Ottomans for hundreds of years.
After watching the artist in action, choose a particular Arabic letter and practice recreating it using specialized tools such as the kalem.
Midway through your session, break for a hot drink and cookies to keep your concentration and creativity flowing. Then, develop your technique further with more pointers from the artist before producing your final composition.
At the end of your 2-hour workshop, leave with your finished artwork as a souvenir. Your experience then ends with a drop-off at your hotel.
Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.

Our group of 10 loved this workshop. The teacher was relaxed and personable, even though he couldn't communicate too well in English. We got Turkish cookies and tea, we had a birthday girl with us who got a nice present.
I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary! It's a beautiful art form, run by someone who is passionate about what they do. We were picked up from our hotel and taken by public transport the best way to travel in Istanbul to the studio where we were treated to a wonderful class. I left feeling so inspired and hope to return to take a longer course in the near future.
