Improve your brushstroke and colour skills in this easy and relaxing watercolour class in Sydney. Explore motifs and patterns that developed between the 10th and the 16th centuries in the Islamic world, most notably in the Ottoman Empire, when illumination or Tezhip was applied to Quranic script and other manuscripts. This art form is based on Islamic geometric art, but the geometry is usually covered with organic, free flowing shapes inspired from nature.

The series combines three classes into one; floral motifs, Iznik & Tezhip and Islamic geometry. All classes will be conducted together and you will have the option of choosing your own design templates.

This art class intertwines the elegance of Mughal and Islamic floral motifs, the precision of geometric designs, and the enchanting Turkish Iznik patterns. You will use premium watercolour pigments on handmade deckle-edge papers and will have the option between one large A4 watercolour paper or two A5 papers.

All of our workshops are complimented with Turkish Tea and sweets.
