The Cherry Hill Library in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, is hosting a lecture on Islamic calligraphy this upcoming Monday.

This traditional art form is the highest form of art in Islamic culture and is an essential part of a civilization that spread from Morocco to Indonesia. The beauty of Arabic letterforms transcends culture and can be appreciated by all who view it. This lecture/slide show is meant as an introduction to those who have a little or a lot of exposure to this art. We will survey the important styles and developments and discuss method and materials, and view beautiful masterpieces of calligraphy followed by a hands-on session where we experience using pens and ink.
