In this calming, hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the history of this 1400-year-old tradition and create your very own illuminated artwork using real gold paint, vibrant colours, and traditional design principles.
No experience necessary – this session is beginner-friendly and perfect for anyone with an interest in culture, art, or mindful creativity.
All materials are provided, and the atmosphere will be enhanced with Arabic music and complimentary Arabic sweets.
