SUMMARY:Classical Arabic Calligraphy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nJoin us for an exciting workshop of Arabic calligraphy wi
 th a trained master calligrapher!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaterials and supplies are 
 provided\, and all skill levels are welcome!\n\nThe Artist: Drawn to the m
 ysterious and elegant forms of classical Arabic calligraphy\, Khalid Casad
 o\, found himself scouring the internet to learn more. His search led him 
 to meet the esteemed Nuria Garcia Masip\, who had trained with the best ar
 tists in this field. Meeting her opened up doors to worlds that he could h
 ave never imagined. After six years of training\, traveling and relentless
 ly practicing\, he received his icacet\, or license\, in Istanbul.\n\nNow 
 a master in his own right\, Khalid brings a unique perspective to the art 
 of Arabic calligraphy. Khalid pours over the details of compositions and p
 lays with lines and dots\, poetry and sacred verse\, in unexpected ways\, 
 but always maintaining the integrity of the classical form\, in letter and
  manner.\n\nKhalid teaches and exhibits internationally. You can view his 
 works most recently at exhibitions such as the Biennial in Sharjah\, Medin
 a in Saudi Arabia\, Barcelona\, Washington DC and most recently Mexico Cit
 y.\n\nThe Venue: The Islamic Center of Nashville (ICN) is one of the oldes
 t mosques in Tennessee. ICN was founded in 1978 in an effort to help in th
 e preservation of the spiritual well-being of its members as well as to fo
 ster a greater and better understanding between Muslims and people of othe
 rs faiths.\n\n-\n\nThe Reed Society for the Sacred Arts (RSSA) works with 
 a global network of artists and musicians to nurture the cultural\, intell
 ectual\, and spiritual wisdom woven into sacred art forms. The Reed Societ
 y's work serves not only as a platform for cultural preservation but also 
 as a source of healing and reconnection for diverse populations\, particul
 arly diaspora communities\, immigrants\, and refugees seeking to engage wi

 n workshops\, immersive retreats\, musical performances\, academic lecture
 s\, and exhibitions. The Reed Society’s work spans disciplines such as A
 rabic and Ottoman calligraphy\, Islamic illumination (tazhib/tehzib)\, sac

 ed vocal traditions.\n\nThe Reed Society has partnered with organizations
