Wochenend-Workshop Schrift, Stille und Geschichte
Aperçu
Introduction
Since the 12th century, writing, learning, and the passing on of knowledge have taken place in the Engelberg Monastery.
Since the 12th century, writing, learning, and the passing on of knowledge have taken place in the Engelberg Monastery. This more than thousand-year-old tradition is experienced in a special way in the calligraphy courses.
Historical insights into medieval writing art are combined with practical work using pen and ink. This creates an inspiring approach to calligraphy – creative, focused, and decelerating.
As a calligraphy weekend with overnight stays at the monastery, the offer invites participants to dive into the world of writing and get to know the rhythm of the monastery.
