Introduction to Nastaliq Calligraphy

If you grew up reading Urdu but never learned to write it beautifully, this one's for you. On Halloween morning, master calligrapher Bahman Panahi is teaching an introduction to Nastaliq in Chelsea, the same flowing script behind every ghazal, every old shop sign, and yes, our own logo. He doesn't come through New York often, and hands on workshops like this stay small. If you've been waiting for a sign, this is it, written in Nastaliq.
