Geometric patterns are among the most recognizable visual expressions of Islamic art and architecture. In the past, craftsmen had an extensive practical knowledge of geometry. Nowadays, we tend to rely heavily on tools such as protractors, compasses, and rulers. In this workshop, participants will be guided by artist Farooq Zia through step-by-step instructions using drawing tools and watercolour paint to create their own geometric pattern and complex design art pieces.
