Workshop: Princes, Dervishes, and Dragons: Exploring Safavid Painted Tiles at ROM

The artistry and technique behind Iran’s famed painted tiles take centre stage in a half day workshop celebrating the installation Picnics and Pastimes, on display now at ROM. An immersive 3-hour workshop takes a closer look at the historic and artistic traditions of architectural tilework in the region.

The workshop’s hands-on component will guide participants through the glazing of their own tiles using the design principles they have studied through the afternoon. Tiles will be fired in a studio kiln and be available for pick up at ROM at a later date. Your registration fee includes a materials cost.
