Patterns of the Alhambra

Patterns of the Alhambra

with Daniel Docherty

Some of the greatest expressions of Islamic Geometric Pattern are to be found in the Nasrid Palace of the Alhambra, in Granada, Spain … During this three-day course we will learn how to construct a number of these beautiful patterns – ranging from the simple to highly sophisticated – using the traditional geometer’s tools of compass and straightedge.

The course is led in a gentle, easy to follow, step-by-step manner, suitable for

both beginner and more experienced geometers alike.
