Workshop Sessions
WORKSHOP 1: 10am-11.am
Drawing the Fourfold Creation Diagram - With Daniel Docherty.
The pattern we will be drawing and exploring was taught by Keith as one of the three key creation diagrams - representative of the view from the 'Earthly' perspective. It lies at the heart of rites of orientation practices; and due to its inherent symbolism, it also informs traditional mandala practises the world over.
WORKSHOP 2: 11.30am-12.30pm
From Point to Rossette: An exploration of islamic geometry - With Saba Kafil, who will demonstrate how to draw the pattern featured on the front cover of Keith’s book Islamic Patterns.
