Classes at the ABC

Arabic Calligraphy - Evening Classes

We hold regular introductory courses of Arabic calligraphy at the ABC, taught by Mustafa Ja'far. The aims of the courses are to teach the Naskh script and aid understanding of the development of Arabic writing, whilst increasing knowledge and appreciation of this traditional art form.

About the tutor:
Mustafa Ja’far is a graphic designer and Arabic letterer, who studied in Baghdad and Rome. He has lectured and taught at a number of institutions including the British Museum and Birkbeck College, University of London. In 2002, he was the author of Arabic Calligraphy: Naskh Script for Beginners, and in April-May 2004 he held an exhibition of contemporary Arabic calligraphy at the British Museum. His most recent exhibition was held in June 2008 in London and was entitled ‘Black Words In Red Ink’.
