Testimonials

  • Studio Nay is so considered and elevated, and what Nayab is doing is genuinely quite special. It’s not just calligraphy, it’s an experience in itself and adds a really personal layer to events which people remember.

  • Nayab is an exceptionally knowledgeable, empathetic and gifted artist and designer. Having worked with her now both here at Leighton House and outside of the museum in community spaces, I have observed her process in developing and facilitating workshops with participants of all ages and experience - she is consistently highly organised, professional, responsive to the different needs within a group and really inspires everyone she is working with to learn, enjoy, create and have fun. She is deeply committed to sharing the art and practice of Arabic calligraphy, and communicates principles of embracing mistakes and patience, meaning the learning journey for participants is steeped in wellness and calm. Her design work is incredibly beautiful, synthesizing tradition and innovation in a truly unique expression. Furthermore, Nayab is really lovely and very easy to work with, utterly dependable and consistently forthcoming and generous with ideas, whilst also being genuinely open to feedback and suggestions. She is held in enormous respect by the museum team and I have absolutely no hesitation in warmly recommending her.
