The Naskh Calligraphy (Beginners) workshop at the Museum of Islamic Art introduces participants to one of the oldest and most revered scripts in Arabic calligraphy.

Known for its readability and elegance, Naskh was historically used for copying manuscripts, including the Qur’an. This hands-on workshop provides students with the essential tools and techniques to begin writing this script with confidence. It’s ideal for those who have taken previous beginner-level courses or anyone passionate about the art of Arabic script.
