Kufi Workshops

The Kufi is the one of the oldest Arabic Calligraphic styles and at the same time it is geometric and easy to teach to students and non-Arab people. This is why I was doing Kufi Workshops since I started teaching at NDU [Notre Dame University], AUB [American University of Beirut] and LAU [Lebanese American University]. I have done workshops for my students at LAU, NDU and AUB; besides giving workshops in exhibitions and conferences like the workshop for Dutch participants that i did during the EL HEMA exhibition at Mediamatic in Amsterdam.
