Overview

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to Al-Qatt art as an old artform that consists of geometric shapes which adorned the inner walls of homes in Asir, a southern province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Participants will also learn how this artform has played into Asir’s architectural design, interior decorations, folklore and dances, all of which inspired the designs and concepts behind Tamashee’s products. During this workshop, Tamashee’s team will demonstrate Al Qatt art basics, dyes, compenents, symbols, and how to create your own Al Qatt design on camel leather.
