What you can expect

Discover the art of traditional calligraphy in a hands-on and immersive workshop designed for all skill levels. Guided by an experienced instructor, learn the fundamentals of letterforms, stroke order, spacing, and rhythm using classic calligraphy tools such as reed pens and ink.

The workshop introduces multiple regional calligraphy styles, including Tunisian, Andalusian, Moroccan, and Eastern (Levantine-influenced) styles, highlighting their unique visual characteristics and cultural backgrounds.

Beyond technique, the workshop presents calligraphy as a contemplative art form that encourages patience, focus, and mindful creative expression through guided practice and experimentation.

The workshop starts and ends at the Sidi Bou Said Creative Hub, located within the Ennejma Ezzahra Palace and Museum. Leave with practice sheets, a finished calligraphic piece, and a deeper appreciation for this living artistic tradition.
