Himmeli Meets Islamic Design

Event Status : Open

Discover the beauty of Islamic geometry through the delicate craft of Himmeli, a traditional Finnish straw mobile.


Suitable for ages : 8+

In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how these two art forms—rooted in mathematical precision and spiritual symbolism—can be fused into breathtaking three-dimensional structures.

You’ll learn to construct Islamic star patterns and geometric forms using straw, creating stunning hanging mobiles that play with light and shadow. This workshop offers a unique way to blend heritage, art, and architecture into a mesmerizing piece for your home.

No prior experience is needed—just a love for design and creativity! Join us in crafting a fusion of cultures, where sacred geometry meets Scandinavian elegance.

In its ongoing commitment to combatting Islamophobia, the Islamic Museum of Australia champions an understanding and appreciation for Islamic art and culture. The autumn school holiday program is supported by the Victorian Government.
