Learn Arabic calligraphy at home

Write with a reed pen on your screen, one letter at a time. Each letter is checked the way a teacher would check it: its height, where it sits on the line, and how it leans. The first level is free. The full course is AED 15 a month.

Try the first lessonSee the plans
Score 98% ✓ Alif: 7 of 7 dots ✓
A pen that behaves like a reedThick when you pull down, thin when you move sideways. Mouse, finger or Apple Pencil.
Letters measured in dotsA calligrapher measures every letter in dots of the pen that writes it. The alif stands three dots tall in Ruq’ah and seven in Thuluth. We measure yours after every try.
Forty lessons for each scriptFrom a single dot to whole lines copied from a master calligrapher.
Your sheet, read by the cameraWrite the alif on paper with its dots beside it and show the sheet. The camera counts the dots and tells you what to correct. It runs on your device and nothing is recorded.

Five scripts. Start with any of them.

Each has forty lessons, and the first level is free.

Start here Ruq'ah script Ruq'ah The quick everyday hand. Most people start with this one. The basics Naskh script Naskh The hand of printed books, and the way into the classical scripts. After Naskh Thuluth script Thuluth The large, grand script you see on mosque walls. Optional Diwani script Diwani The curling hand of old royal letters. Optional Farsi script Farsi The slanting hand of Persian poetry.

Read the transcript

This is Mashq Studio. It's free, it runs in your browser, and in two minutes you'll make your first piece of Arabic calligraphy. Start in the Text box. Write any word, name or phrase in Arabic. Here, we'll write the name Maryam. Make it bigger: type a size in the Size box at the top. Now choose a script. Each one is a classical style of Arabic calligraphy. This is Ruq'ah, the clear hand of everyday Arabic writing. And this is Thuluth, the grand script of mosque walls. Switch as often as you like. Your text stays. Pick an ink colour from the bar at the top. In the corner, you can see your design on a finished piece, with its price. When you're happy, open Export. PDF is ready for any print shop. SVG and DXF are there for laser cutting. Your first four downloads are free, with a small Mashq mark. Or click Order a piece, and we'll make it for you in the UAE and deliver it to your door.
