The Art of Calligraphy
An Introductory Workshop
For
thousands of years and across countless cultures, calligraphy, the art
of beautiful writing, has been both a delight to the eye and an
inspiration for the spirit. The process of creating a piece of
calligraphy is like an experience of ‘celestial dance’ on paper… where
you dip the pen in the inkpot, pause to take a deep breath and then put
all your concentration on creating a visual masterpiece.
This art is about preciseness and dynamic beauty of the strokes. It trains not only your eye and hand, but your mind as well. In today’s fast paced life, calligraphy is truly meditation in movement.
In the workshop, Aiyana will guide us, step-by-step, in the discipline and rhythm of creating the 26 alphabets of the English script, using the treasure tools of calligraphy – the oblique nib reed pen, ink and paper. The workshop will be followed by the screening of a film on calligraphy, Tears of Dancing Letters.
