Overview

Experience the beauty of Turkish calligraphy in a hands-on workshop in Istanbul, where history and artistry come together. Begin with an introduction to the cultural significance of this ancient script before learning traditional tools and techniques for applying ink or paint to glass. Practice basic strokes and letter forms under expert guidance, then select a meaningful word, motif, or name to create in stylized script. Transfer the design onto a glass panel and complete it in a decorative brass frame. While the artwork sets, enjoy Turkish tea or coffee with local snacks and conversation. Conclude the workshop with a framed, handcrafted calligraphy piece, an artistic souvenir, and a lasting memory of Istanbul’s traditional culture
