Each session you will learn to construct a different Islamic Geometric pattern. Starting with a plain piece of paper, step by step we will draw layers of lines and circles using a compass and straight edge. From this underlying grid a pattern will emerge. We will outline, trace and transfer the pattern to watercolour paper, to be decorated using watercolour pencils & paints.
Monthly workshops allow you to work on your patterns further at home at an entirely leisurely pace. A step by step PDF guide is emailed to you ahead of your workshop to accompany all patterns taught at the workshop as well as allow you to reconstruct the pattern at home. The patterns can offten be painted again and again trying out different colour schemes and materials. If your're not sure which resources to use at home, you get a chance to use them in the workshop. I also have a list of recommendations you can check out.
