The School is having a one-day taster session in Indian, Mughal and Persian miniature painting styles with a renowned miniature painter/educator and pioneer of Indo-Persian Painting in the UK, Dr. Fatima Zahra Hassan. 

 

Dr Hassan has taught miniature painting for over twenty-five years in the UK and abroad. She has taught at the V&A Museum, the British Museum London, Birkbeck College, London University, and the School of Traditional Arts, The King's Foundation London.

It is a unique one-day summer taster session, and students are encouraged to apply from all backgrounds. 

 

The students/learners will be introduced to this beautiful art form by drawing or tracing certain elements from classical paintings, such as a bird, an animal, or a flower, using traditional methods, materials, and techniques.

Each student will get a summer taster starter pack. Please bring yourself any beautiful relevant image you wish to draw and paint. The learners will be provided with tea and coffee.
