Join us in the beautiful setting of the Andalusian hills in southern Spain, where we will be exploring the meaning of Islamic art, and learning to draw geometric and biomorphic patterns inspired by the natural world around us.
Our focus will be to dive into how and why art, and specifically Islamic Art, can be relevant to our current context and the world we are finding ourselves in. We will be looking at our relationship with the land, both in the global and local sense to find our next steps forward in today’s somewhat disorientating world.
Workshops will consist of observational drawing, pattern construction and painting, as well as walking, reading, discussion and reflection. Participants will take home with them a completed painting, and experience time to contemplate, learn, create and connect. Each artistic element of your work will be nurtured by deep reflections, writing practices and conversations.
The workshops will be led by Shaheen Kasmani and Henrietta Szovati at the House of Andalus. No previous experience necessary. Beginners welcome.
The price includes farmhouse accommodation, three meals per day prepared by a professional chef, and all workshops and art materials. Payment plans are available.
