An intensive calligraphy workshop on mark-making, from writing by hand as an act of order, to the free gesture that can transform the way we look at the world.

Venice, October 9-15, 2026
Through the practice and teaching of abstract marks, scribbles, and illegible writings, I have discovered that the free gesture—experienced as a form of listening—transforms the way we look at the world. Faced with a plant, marks become branches, trunks, roots; a stone suggests the sky; a lichen turns into a forest; a sound becomes a thread in a spider’s web, as fine as silk; a heartbeat takes the shape of a gesture.
LOCATION:
Palazzo Minotto, Venice - Italy
Palazzo Minotto is a Venetian palace situated at ten minutes walk from Piazzale Roma and the train station, in the Gaffaro section of Dorsoduro, a less turistic area with small café and trattorias. The workshop will be held in the “piano nobile”, the main central largest room.
