If you enjoy my resources, donation of any amount welcome to help sustain my work!
As many of us are enduring social isolation and a loss of our normal activities, I hope this intriguing world of Islamic Geometric Patterns keeps us busy, positive and creative regardless of our income.
​
I offer many free resources & links: ​Tutorials on YouTube, links to other free resources online, book reviews and equipment & materials recommendations.
​
I created two affordable & practical online courses where you can view video demonstrations along with accessing step by step PDFs to enable you to draw, trace, tile, transfer and paint Islamic Geometric Patterns.
​
I also offer live video tuition, one to one or for small groups of up to 4 participants. We can schedule sessions and cover topics, techniques and patterns from the world of Islamic Geometric Patterns & Design bespoke to your needs.
​
As of August 2020, I started a creator page on Patreon. This is an exclusive, members only platform where you become a patron to support me and my work for a monthly membership fee. I currently have two tiers of membership set up. There's no obligation, you can opt out whenever you wish.

All the best from,

Having not written anything long form in 20 years, writing for a special edition of the Journal of the Assosciation of Teachers of Mathematics was an epic task, so I diligently dove in full concentration to write a way too long article!
