Overview

Nestled among the historic and contemporary buildings in Al Mureijah Square, cared for by neighbourhood residents and home to the area’s favourite cats, The Urban Garden embodies the ideal combination of nature and art in a collective communal space. Participants in this workshop will experience the welcoming environment of the garden as they collect plant cuttings and learn how to print them onto canvas and textiles. They will use the various printmaking techniques taught in this workshop to create their own artworks.

This session will be conducted in English and Arabic.
