For centuries, artists have used gold, ink and brightly coloured paints to illuminate and beautify Islamic manuscripts. In this practical course students will learn traditional paper preparation, including staining, sizing and burnishing the paper. Making watercolour paint using natural pigments will be part of this course. Participants will also learn to make shell gold and learn the usage of ink and practise delicate brush techniques used for this elegant art.

As part of a series of courses leading to more complicated designs, floral motives or khatai forms are introduced. By the end of the course participants should have a portfolio of their own khatai designs, have an understanding of the geometry hidden in the manuscripts, and have a finished, painted piece with floral forms.
