Best suited for those with some calligraphy experience, this class will explore the Nasta’liq script. This history-rich script was invented in 15th century Iran by the calligrapher, Mir Ali Al-Tabreezi, where it was known as Naskh Tal’eq. The Ottoman states also used it, and they called it Tal’iq. According to the MIA website, the script is renowned for “its beauty, the accuracy of length of its letters, and its clarity”. To find out more or register, email miaprograms@qm.org.qa.
