Mosaic Workshop with Artist Rawda 

The School of Calligraphy and Ornamentation in Fujairah hosted a specialised workshop in mosaic art led by artist Rawda. The event drew an impressive attendance of students and art enthusiasts keen to engage in this educational and creative experience. The workshop underscored the school’s active role in reviving traditional arts and highlighting their aesthetic and cultural value by providing a rich artistic environment that combined practical learning with direct interaction.

Artist Rawda introduced participants to the fundamentals of mosaic art and its varied techniques, from selecting materials and colours to the methods of arranging small pieces and coordinating them into complete artworks. Students were given the opportunity to apply these skills practically by producing their own pieces, enabling them to explore their creative potential and develop new means of artistic expression.

Attendees expressed their appreciation for the knowledge and experience they gained, noting that the workshop extended beyond the artistic dimension to foster teamwork and collaboration. They exchanged ideas and approaches, and engaged in insightful discussions on the aesthetics of this art form and its place in human heritage.

Participants also commended the high standard of organisation and the positive atmosphere that characterised the workshop, considering the experience a valuable addition to their artistic and educational journey. The school’s administration emphasised that hosting such workshops forms part of its mission to raise awareness among younger generations of the importance of traditional arts and their relevance today, whilst opening up avenues for creativity and innovation in art and design.

Through this initiative, the School of Calligraphy and Ornamentation continues to deliver high-quality programmes that enrich the artistic and cultural scene in Fujairah, reaffirming its commitment to nurturing talent and developing students’ skills, while strengthening the standing of Arabic and Islamic arts as a cornerstone of cultural and human identity.
