Finding Inspiration in Non-Latin Scripts, Part 1
About Course
Come with me to a faraway land! I want to show you one of the most beautiful and intriguing scripts ever created: early Arabic Kufic. This calligraphy is as bold as modern sculpture and abstract painting. Think Calder. Think Motherwell. By studying these concise, dramatic letters, we can learn a lot about letterform, counterspace, weight and legibility. These sessions are great for anyone interested in striking out into new territory. Even better for logo designers, painters and those hoping to develop new and more personal styles of writing. Part 1 and Part 2 together form a very good introduction to my way of teaching calligraphy. Validity: 180 days

Student Ratings & Reviews
I have really enjoyed a new perspective on in particular kufic script. I have more confidence with my Kufic script in addition to my kufic-derived-latin letters. I love the 'production quality' on the videos, & my brain as a linguist and budding calligrapher just loved the documentary.
