Description
Join celebrated calligrapher, Haji Noor Deen, for a very special workshop. The acclaimed artist will demonstrate his unrivalled calligraphic technique, a remarkable fusion of Chinese and Arabic art. He will also offer insights on the form and function of his calligraphy.
As a Chinese Muslim, Haji Noor Deen’s calligraphy is an article of faith, prayer with a paintbrush, with the sole aim of beautifying the word of God. As Islamic art has no animals or figures, the art is either floral or text-based, making calligraphy very much a sacred practice.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn the essential techniques of this unique calligraphy directly from the master craftsman himself.
There will also be an opportunity to view and purchase some of Haji Noor Deen’s original art pieces that have earned him worldwide acclaim.
This event will be delivered in Arabic and translated.
