Drawing from centuries-old artistic traditions that flourished across the Islamic world, this workshop invites participants to explore the harmony, symmetry, and mathematical beauty found in historical tile work and architecture.

Using acrylic paints, participants will apply repeating geometric motifs and interlaced patterns to their plates. While guided by classical principles, everyone is encouraged to bring their own creative flair and personal interpretation to their design.
