You will learn the basics of Islamic pattern design in this one-day workshop. Islamic patterns are intriguing because of their visually complex designs and the fact that no design is ever the same. And yet they are all based on one simple geometric shape: the circle.

Through a series of step-by-step exercises, you will work from a pre-formed grid as well as develop your own pattern and several variations of a design. You will learn to create a grid without using a ruler to measure: just a pencil, compass and straightedge. Discussion on how these intricate designs might be integrated into your own work will also be covered. Instructor: Xane St Phillip (materials included)
