Some frequently asked questions.
We also offer longer courses, where we dive deeper into the world of pattern.
What do we do?
Taking a design from the Alhambra we show the simple geometric principles underlying its’ structure. Students create their own design using a pencil and compass and add colour with either watercolour or gouache painting techniques to bring it alive.
By the end of the lesson you will have a beautiful design of your own to take home and a deeper understanding of how the Alhambra was made. It’s a wonderful way to add to your Andalucian experience.
