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 a protractors, compasses, and rulers.

In this workshop, participants will be guided through step-by-step instructions using drawing tools and watercolour paint to create their own geometric pattern and complex design art pieces.

Registration required. Please speak to staff at the Richview branch or call (416) 394-5120.
