Calligraphy - I recently had the coolest opportunity ever! I got to try my hand at calligraphy during an art lesson at Baba Sahra Fes. Let me tell you, it was mind-blowing! The whole experience was like stepping into an ancient world of elegance and grace. Under the guidance of a skilled calligrapher, I learned about the rich history behind this art form and how it has been preserved over centuries. From understanding various calligraphy styles to grasping the intricacies of brush strokes, there was so much to absorb.
