THE BAB SAHRA FEZ CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP
The BAB SAHRA FEZ CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP
BAB SAHRA FEZ ' Calligraphy Workshop, invites visitors to an artistic and contemplative adventure, through the words and letters which will illuminate your visit for hours on end.
You will find that calligraphers need to be capable of breathing and holding their breath while they write, as it is to the sound of their breathing that their hand writes and inscribes the letters.
This close relationship between writing and breathing involves the calligrapher in an infinite universe of inner quietness, where the soul is in perfect agreement with the hand's movement.
This workshop will appeal to all innovative travelers who are looking for mindfulness and a new balance.
THE ART OF CALLIGRAPHY
Writing is the motion of writing down text by scratching words.
Calligraphy, though, attempts to invoke the meanings of the words and embrace their essence. Such is the nuances of difference that equates the calligraphy artist with the better writer.
Calligraphy is therefore the art of writing and indeed the art of fine writing.
It involves creating letters, words and phrases that are both legible and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. To achieve this, calligraphers must master not only the shape of the letters, but also the space around them.
In this way, the painting becomes a space where every detail counts, and where negative space plays just as important a role as positive space. In this way, the void is an essential element of the composition, giving rhythm, balance and life to the whole. Without it, the letters would simply be empty forms, devoid of any emotion or beauty.
PRACTICAL DETAILS
The workshop takes place in our Salon Josephine, on the roof top or in the patio of the Riad, depending on the participants feelings and weather permitting.
The workshop begins with a historical introduction to calligraphy: the art, its variations, its role and evolution over time.
Participants are then invited to try their hand at the art, using pen and ink on paper.
