Hebrew Calligraphy Workshop
If your organization is interested in learning some of the fine art of Hebrew calligraphy, I can run workshop sessions in New Jersey and the surrounding local area. A typical workshop lasts about 2 hours. Topics discussed include:
- Relationship of Hebrew to other alphabets
- How to hold a calligraphy pen
- Basic pen-strokes
- Letter-forms
- Spacing of letters and words
Presentation on the Hebrew Alphabet
I also can give a Powerpoint presentation on the history and relationship of Hebrew to other alphabets (approx. length 40 min.). Topics discussed include:
- Styles of Hebrew lettering
- Original source of the alphabet
- Near-Eastern and European alphabets from ancient through modern times
- Asian writing schemes
- Archaic and extinct alphabets throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia
