Arabic Calligraphy Workshop

This 90 minute workshop invites you to explore creative art form of calligraphy and the Arabic Alphabet.

Led by artist and calligrapher Lucy Khanam, you will be guided through the Arabic Alphabet and become familiarised with each letter before choosing a meaningful word or phrase that you’d like to write on canvas and take away with you.

Lucy has worked with iconic brands including John Lewis, Qatar Airways, Bobbi Brown and Jo Malone so to say we are excited to welcome her to Florence Dock is an understatement!

Whether you’d like to create the perfect design addition to your new Florence Dock studio, or a thoughtful and unusual gift for a friend, this is the perfect session for the creative and culture-curious to get stuck into.

You will also receive a pack to take away after the session alongside your finished canvas, so that they can practice their new skills further.

This will include;

• Calligraphy pen (imitating a ‘Qalam’ traditionally used for Arabic calligraphy.

• Alphabet calligraphy workbook

• Canva
