Led by Barkingside Art Club with art educator and local artist Eliyah Qureshi and the Creative Ambassadors.
Join us at Redbridge Central Library for a vibrant celebration of Islamic Art and Heritage, where creativity, rhythm, and culture come together.
As part of the Big Draw Festival, we will explore the beauty of Islamic art through collective creativity. Together, we will create a large community banner using a range of techniques, including calligraphy, stencilling, and printmaking.
For younger artists, there will be a special opportunity to design and decorate their own duff (traditional drum) and discover how rhythm, music, and art connect in Islamic culture.
The Creative Ambassadors will also host special stations throughout the session, showcasing their own interpretations and insights into Islamic art techniques, celebrating both tradition and modern creativity.
Highlights:
- Explore the patterns, geometry, and stories behind Islamic art
- Learn about famous artists, architecture, and cultural heritage
- Create your own artwork to take home
- Contribute to a large collaborative mural celebrating unity and creativity
- Engage with demonstrations by the talented Creative Ambassadors
Suitable for all ages and families.
This is an inclusive session, open to SEN families. Support will be available throughout.
Limited spaces – first come, first served.
Let’s draw, create, and celebrate together, discovering how art connects us all.
