What the course is about

Together, they’ll learn how to write the phrase Eid Mubarak in Arabic - which means “Have a blessed Eid” - using fun and accessible calligraphy techniques. Adults will gain an introduction to calligraphy basics to form beautiful letters, while children engage with playful mark-making and watercolour. Families will create their own Eid cards to take home, combining lettering with decorative design to celebrate the upcoming festival together.<br />
Although based on Eid, all are welcome!</p>
