CTTP exists to train calligraphy teachers — not just calligraphers

Calligraphy in India has been sustained through the dedication of practitioners who have passed knowledge through workshops, individual teaching, and mentorship. As interest in calligraphy has grown—especially among learners aged 8–16—the need for trained calligraphy teachers has become increasingly clear. Teaching young learners requires more than personal skill; it needs structure, age-appropriate progression, and pedagogy that can be applied across classrooms.

CTTP was created to address this gap by focusing on teacher training, not just skill development. The program strengthens the existing ecosystem by preparing educators to teach responsibly, consistently, and with confidence, ensuring the legacy of calligraphy is passed on across generations.

The Calligraphy Teacher Training Program prepares educators to:

  • teach calligraphy with structure and age-appropriate methods
  • balance artistic practice with pedagogy and lesson planning
  • work confidently with children and young learners
  • contribute meaningfully to the long-term growth of calligraphy education in India

This is not a hobby course. This is teacher training.
