This creative workshop introduces participants to the process of designing and assembling an Arabic-inspired lantern using geometric patterns derived from Islamic art. The course blends traditional design principles with contemporary making techniques, offering a hands-on experience in both design and construction.
Participants will explore the fundamentals of Islamic geometric ornament, including symmetry, repetition, and balance, and learn how these principles are applied in architectural and decorative contexts. They will then translate these patterns into structured designs suitable for fabrication.
The workshop focuses on understanding how decorative elements interact with structural form, guiding participants through the process of transforming geometric concepts into interlocking components. Through step-by-step assembly, participants will construct a wooden lantern that reflects both artistic detail and functional design.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and anyone interested in Islamic art, design, and hands-on creative experiences.
By the end of the workshop, participants will understand the basic principles of Islamic geometric design and how to apply them in a functional object.
Participants will learn how to analyse geometric patterns, translate them into design components, and assemble them into a cohesive structure. They will also develop skills in visual planning, precision, and balancing decorative and structural elements.
The course aims to strengthen both creative thinking and technical execution through a guided, hands-on process.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have created a fully assembled wooden lantern featuring geometric patterns inspired by Islamic ornament.
They will gain practical experience in completing a full design-to-assembly process, from understanding patterns to constructing the final piece. Participants will also develop a stronger ability to organise visual elements and apply geometric design principles effectively.
The final outcome is a functional decorative lantern that reflects both cultural inspiration and individual creativity.
