        The Arabic alphabet is used in thirty odd countries and not all of them speak Arabic e.g. Iran and Afghanistan.
        The Arabic language is also the official language of Islam which creates a special emotional attachment between this language and its art (calligraphy) for millions around the world.
        My name is Richard-Fouad and I'm a passionate Lebanese Arabic Calligraphy artist. I'm also a qualified and experienced teacher. I'm based in the North East and have worked for years on developing a new method to teach Arabic calligraphy enthusiasts how to write it using their own handwriting beautifully within hours.
        The result is a beautiful artwork unique to the individual.
        In my workshops, I have three rigid rules:
        1. Ask any question
        2. Be messy
        3. Have lots of fun
        So be prepared!
        I'm running a new series of Calligraphy workshop. The workshop will run for three weeks and and there will be an exhibition of the art work produced during the workshops.

        Calligraphy is written on paper ..
        Using the pen ..
        The pen is held by the hand ..
        The hand is controlled by the mind ..
        The mind is effected by the heart ..
        And the soul ..
        So let your heart flow on the white paper ..
        Let it say what it wants ..
        Don't try to stop it ..
        Are you not able to understand it?
        Look closely ..
        This is your heart talking ..
        Can you read the heart hand writing ?
        The heart will draw a line with a language only you ..
        understand ..
        And others will learn to appreciate ..
