Description

Course Brief Description and Objectives – The Georgian Calligraphy Course aims to bring up the guardians of one of the oldest writing system in the world – Georgian alphabet. The attendees of the video lessons will be able to create ornament letters of the most beautiful alphabet in the world and give a festive, unforgettable look to the texts.

Let us memorize, that on November 30, 2016, the Georgian writing system was inscribed on the UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The pens of our attendees will bring new life to the Georgian writing system’s (Mtavruli, Nusxuri, Mkhedruli) letters.

Their works will tart up the exhibition halls and, who knows, maybe they will become the exhibition samples of the National Center of Georgian Manuscripts one day.
