Islamic Art of Illumination

Workshop as part of Salaam Festival

In this hands-on workshop you are invited to explore some of the methods, motifs and materials used by artists in creating patterns and plumage used in the art of illumination.

Under the guidance of your teacher Unaiza Karim, a visual artist and educator trained in the art of illumination, you will use traditional methods and materials to create your very own illuminated design.

This course is designed to deepen your connection to this timeless art form and experience the artistry behind its creation. It is part of Salaam Festival, a week-long celebration that reflects the diversity of Islamic art and culture.
