When we take a calligraphic pen in our hands, Time Stops and loses its meaning. Thoughts and desires that we hide somewhere deep inside, gradually take their form and become visible. Words and thoughts, imbued with Fabulous Beauty, make a deep impression on the one to whom they are intended. He realizes that you did your best, took the time and wrote them just for him.
A calligraphic pen, like a magic wand, lulls us into harmony, develops our concentration and perseverance, and at the same time allows us to make others happy besides ourselves. The wonderful story of calligraphy – the art of fiction goes back more than a millennium. You can also become a part of this story!
Miro Knez has more than fifteen years of experience in the field of teaching calligraphic fonts. In his many years of calligraphic work, he collaborated with many schools, historical archives, labor organizations, protocols, museums, etc.

Ko v roke vzamemo kaligrafsko pero, se čas ustavi in izgubi svoj pomen. Misli in želje, ki jih skrivamo nekje globoko v sebi, postopoma dobivajo svojo obliko in postajajo vidne. Besede in misli, prežete s pravljično lepoto, naredijo globok vtis na tistega, ki so mu namenjene. Zaveda se, da ste se potrudili, si vzeli čas in jih napisali samo zanj.
Kaligrafsko pero nas kot čarobna paličica zaziba v harmonijo, razvija našo zbranost in vztrajnost, hkrati pa nam omogoči, da poleg sebe osrečimo tudi druge. Čudovita zgodba o kaligrafiji – umetnosti lepopisja sega več kot tisočletje nazaj. Delček te zgodbe lahko postanete tudi vi!
Miro Knez ima na področju poučevanja kaligrafskih pisav več kot petnajst let izkušenj. Pri svojem dolgoletnem kaligrafskem delu je sodeloval s številnimi šolami, zgodovinskimi arhivi, delovnimi organizacijami, protokoli, muzeji itd.

Mnenja udeležencev:
Pozdravljeni,
Rada bi povedala, da imate poseben talent za vodenje tečaja in profesionalen pristop do udeležencev. Zelo prijetna izkušnja, pozitivna energija, ravno pravšnja glasbena spremljava in delo na pisavi. Želim si še več takšnih izkušenj. Hvala za lep ponedeljek.
Prijetne urice s tečajniki želim in lep pozdrav,
Radojka

Sem začetnik v spoznavanju kaligrafije in sem navdušena nad spoznavanjem pisav. Podajanje vsebine je bilo odlično. Všeč mi je tudi to, da sem bila pri sami vaji konkretno opozorjena na napake.
