Workshop Information
Course Outline
In this fully practical workshop, inspired by spherical art forms in nature and the traditional Japanese art of Temari Balls, you will learn how to work with geometric designs on a spherical surface.
Guided through step by step drawings using compass and ruler, you will build several models using various materials, and explore the qualities of each solid and its design potential. You will learn how to project the solids on the sphere’s surface ready for your own design and decoration.
This workshop will be led by Haifa Khawaja, an architect, artist and teacher.
She worked in architecture and interior design before completing an MA in Traditional Arts, and is currently focused on full time practice as an artist/teacher. She published a colouring book on Geometric Patterns co-written by mathematician Roger Pewnrose. She is enthusiastic about exploring numerical expression in the Natural world and teaching this timeless language to teachers, designers and children.
