Part of Islamic Heritage Month
Price: $15 per person*

Please note: If a youth participant attends with a caregiver, the caregiver is required to purchase a ticket if they wish to stay for the workshop.
Through this hands-on workshop, explore the beauty and detail of Persian painting — a tradition celebrated for its fine ornamentation and storytelling. Inspired by miniature paintings and decorative elements from the Aga Khan Museum Collections, participants will learn how artists of the past combined colour, pattern, and design to bring scenes to life. Guided by our Museum Educators, you will create your own decorated artwork to take home, connecting centuries-old techniques with your own creative vision.
