Gosh, how amazing to stumble across a piece, quite by accident, that seemed somehow familiar – and then to realize I had written it!

This site is a wonderful resource and I am delighted to have found it. Keep up the good work! (I loved the videos and hope one day you might extend these to masterclasses).

Hello Whitney,
That’s great that you are going to Mar Musa! Please feel free to use these photographs; I found them online, so they aren’t originally mine.

I am going to be travelling to Deir Mar Musa in August and staying there for about 4 weeks. I wanted to post some pictures of the monestary on a blog (not yet set up) before I go for my friends and family to see. May I use your beautiful photographs on my blog? And if I may use the photos, how would you like them to be credited?

Thanks for your time.

These squares remind me of some of the wood carved blocks that stephen has here in the class room. It is so difficult to create a repeating pattern. they look great though.

Dear Dr. Osman,
Thank you for your kind words; I will pass them along to the filmmaker, Sanaa. I invite you to visit calligraphyqalam.com regularly for updates on events and exhibitions about Islamic calligraphy.

If you’re in Istanbul, start with a visit to IRCICA: http://www.ircica.org/. And you will find excellent calligraphy at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum: http://muze.sabanciuniv.edu/main/default.php?bytLanguageID=2
