In April 2026, Art of Islamic Pattern invites you on an unforgettable five-day workshop in Al-Andalus, Spain, exploring the timeless beauty of Granada and Córdoba.

Our main base will be in Granada with a one day excursion to Córdoba. All transfers covered in the course fee.

Granada

Immerse yourself in the living legacy of Islamic Spain as we study the stunning patterns of the Nasrid Palaces of the Alhambra. Our programme combines hands-on creative practice with rich cultural immersion:

• Practical classes in geometry and biomorphic design
• Guided tours and lectures led by expert local specialists
• A unique opportunity to learn traditional Moorish leatherwork from a master craftsman

Classes will be held in the Centro Cultural de la Mezquita de Granada, perched at the top of the Albaicín. Surrounded by the cobbled streets of this medieval Moorish district, with breathtaking views across to the Alhambra and the Sierra Navada beyond, you’ll be creating art in one of the world’s most inspiring settings — a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Córdoba

Will will spend one day in Córdoba, once the largest city in Europe and the vibrant cultural and economic heart of the Islamic world. We will visit the remarkable Great Mosque (Mezquita), nestled in the winding streets of the Moorish quarter.

Students will study and render details of the Mezquita’s magnificent façade, exploring its architectural features, geometric designs, and biomorphic motifs. Surrounded by centuries of history, you’ll deepen both your artistic skills and your understanding of this remarkable city’s legacy.
