“Islamic Art” is an interactive workshop, participants will explore the beauty of Islamic geometric patterns through hands-on design and drawing. Maham will guide the group step by step in constructing a classic eight-pointed star, introducing key concepts like symmetry, pattern repetition, and cultural context. The session is beginner-friendly and open to all ages. No prior experience is required. Participants will leave with their own hand-drawn geometric composition and a deeper appreciation for the mathematics and spirituality behind the art. All materials will be provided.
