calligraphy..any ideas?? help!

salaam my brothers and sisters!!!

im looking for a calligraphy course or classes to attend...im even willing to leave work for a short amount of time ( maybe up to 6 months) to go and attend the course within the UK or abroad....any ideas??

Salaam,

Travel to Egypt!! Diwan Centre have a good calligraphy course.. if u have the time and money to spare its defo worth doing it there. Thats where i studied it and given the approporiate timing you can learn alot.
Theres many other centres there as well that teach it. Im not sure of any places closer to home sorry sis

thank you soo much- ive just googled it and it looks like they have a huge institution for those wanting to learn Arabic too...am i on the right lines there??

Yup sis! Lol. aldiwancenter.com

Having said that some people think this partic center can have ridiculous prices which is kind of true if compared with other places. but there are loads of places to study callig/arabic in cairo, places that are a lot cheaper too, its all dependent on your budget as well. and likewise im assuming in other countries there will be loads of places if anybody else can recommend?

al diwans worth checking out though. They could also try to help you with accomodation as well.

is anyone Turkish here or knows Turkey well...i've been researching institutions that can teach calligraphy in Turkey but im finding that a lot of the teaching is done informally one to one and i dont want that...i want to attend a proper structured class and pref in English
