Fahim Somani, a self-taught
calligrapher and artist, shared information about Islamic Calligraphy, a
beautiful form of script used in manuscripts, paintings, ceramics,
architecture, and other decorative arts. Fahim introduced attendees to the six
primary script styles with a bit of history and examples of use for each style.
He often uses a reed pen that he either purchases or makes himself, although
for larger works of art he often has to create his own tools in order to
properly make the unique strokes required for calligraphy. Fahim shared many
examples of his beautiful art making use of calligraphic elements, color,
textures and layers.
