The exhibition at Gallery Kocka presents new paintings\, including larger formats\, in which graphic imprints\, acrylic layers and the depth of oil painting converge. (From the accompanying text by Goran Milovanović.) \nThe exhibition opening will be accompanied by a musical performance by Ivana Orač (violin) and Martina Runčigaj Žabkar (guitar). \nYou are invited to experience painting as a space of thought and concentrated presence. \nFree admission. \nEvent website

SUMMARY:Workshop: Calligraphy – Carolingian Minuscule and Uncial
DESCRIPTION:JSKD OI Novo mesto invites you to a calligraphy workshop (Carolingian minuscule and uncial). \nThrough learning writing skills and practicing fine handwriting\, or calligraphy\, we develop concentration and the ability to visualize. By guiding the pen in specific directions\, participants learn to recognize the details of individual letters and thus develop attentiveness and focus. \nThis skill of manual expression is especially suitable for children\, as well as for adults who\, in a world full of digital technology\, have fewer opportunities to practice hands-on skills and to develop concentration of thought and\, above all\, patience through enjoyable activities. \nBecause of these qualities\, calligraphy is also used for therapeutic purposes\, as a form of meditation. Due to the technical challenge that calligraphy presents\, experts claim that learning calligraphy helps develop a person’s temperament and inner calm. It improves the ability to observe\, subtlety\, creativity\, and independence. \nAt the same time\, the acquired skill is highly welcome and indispensable in designing holiday greeting cards\, invitations\, commendations\, and certificates—creations of which participants can be especially proud. \nSCHEDULE \nThe workshop will be held in four sessions: First session: Friday\, 6 February 2026 / 5:00–8:00 PM Second session: Saturday\, 7 February 2026 / 9:00 AM–12:00 PM Third session: Friday\, 13 February 2026 / 5:00–8:00 PM Fourth session: Saturday\, 14 February 2026 / 9:00 AM–12:00 PM \nWe reserve the right to change the schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. You will be notified of any changes. \nMATERIALS: Included in the workshop price: \n– metal calligraphy pen and ink \n– all necessary materials – practice sheets \n– a gift: a calligraphic rendering of each participant’s name \nMENTOR: Natalija Resnik \nABOUT THE MENTOR \nNatalija Resnik has deepened her engagement with calligraphy—handwriting that supports the development of motor skills\, concentration\, and mental stability—through the exploration of language and relationships. \nTwenty-five years ago\, she was searching for a professional opportunity for herself: work that would not constrain the creative flow of ideas and time. She found it in calligraphy. “I am grateful to calligraphy for shaping my focus on beauty.” \nAt first\, she used pages written in the morning for mental and psychological hygiene. “Over time\, I noticed that they improved my writing style and helped me condense and\, above all\, slow down the flow of my thoughts.” \nShe continued to deepen her knowledge\, trained extensively\, and then began teaching others. She leads writing courses throughout Slovenia. Carolingian minuscule\, uncial\, italic\, copperplate\, and Gothic bastarda are styles that people particularly enjoy learning. \nWhen she sends letters—something she recommends to everyone—she writes the address as a work of art\, “because with a small gesture of attention“. \nRegistration is open until all places are filled\, via the link. \nEvent website
