Reading and understanding the Thuluth script: a six-week online course this summer (live and recorded)
This summer I'm running the first cohort of an online course on reading and understanding Thuluth, the script behind so many mosque inscriptions and museum panels.
The focus is not on turning you into a calligrapher in six weeks. It won't, and I won't pretend otherwise. It's on learning to actually read this art: to recognise the script, place a work by style and period, and follow how a panel is composed. Practising the forms with a reed pen is welcome but optional.
Details:
- Six weekly live sessions, all recorded, with lifetime access
- Open to all levels, no Arabic required
- 18 July to 22 August 2026, taught in English
