6th Graders Learn Islamic Calligraphy

On Thursday, March 28th, Clay Witt (Henry's dad) came to teach the 6th grade about Islamic Calligraphy. He gave us a lesson about Arabic calligraphy and shared his experience as an apprentice to a calligrapher in Damascus. He taught the students how to write Ibn Battuta's name and then showed them how to write their own names in Arabic. Clay brought ink and handmade pens that he made for each student. It was fascinating and they learned so much!
