We have conducted over two dozens of art workshops, classes, and Islamic calligraphy demonstrations and presentations in different places including in the U.S., Canada, Russia, and Iran.

​

One of our most successful series of workshops was “Doorways to Islamic Civilization” in partnership with Zawaya and ICCNC on November 2012, including over 15 workshops on music, Sufi painting, Turkish Marbeling, Arabopersian calligraphy styles, and Islamic geometry and pattern design.

​

We occasionally provide public and private Arabic-Persian calligraphy classes, in Nastalique, Thuluth, and Kufic styles. Public programs would be announced on our website when happening. If you are interested in learning Islamic calligraphy please register by sending us an email. If you want us to conduct a calligraphy workshop, lecture, or class in your organization or community please email and let us know about your needs.
