The Third day of the International Calligraphic Exhibition was linked with a vivid event that was a joint master-class of Petr Petrovich Chobitko, Chairman of the National Union of Calligraphers and his student Olga Varlamova.
The subject of the master-class was the peculiarity of writing ancient canon, semi-canon, cursive and semi-canon cursive with a broad-end instrument such as: a reed, pen or brush.

For sure, the chance to see the creation of calligraphic chef-d’oeuvre by the author of the first handwritten Constitution of the Russian Federation is a great pleasure for everyone. No wonder that there was not empty space in the room long before the master-class began and a number of people wishing to attend the event were standing.

Olga Varlamova, who participated in the master-class with Petr Chobitko, has studied script and calligraphy since 2002 under his supervision.
