Why? Well it’s because in our classes we discover new and distinct Islamic biomorphic motifs, patterns and styles from various parts of the world over centuries of distinct traditions and regions.
This the first launch of this Community Membership and as a result, Founding Members will gain exclusive privileges, such as no price increases, even when the programme improves and the price goes up for new members.
Why Join Us
Our aim is to enrich your soul, expand your horizons and bring transformation to your art. Learning Islamic Biomorphic Patterns has never been clearer, effortless and enjoyable.
We’ve Crafted Online Learning into an Artform
At the Global Centre of Islamic Art our vision is to make the transformation of Islamic art accessible to all.
For over 3 and a ½ years, we have meticulously crafted and perfected a creative process that deeply moves the spirit. Today, a global family of over 32,000 students flourishes under the wisdom of more than 200 renowned masters and artists.
We discovered that the immense depth of biomorphic art cannot be fully captured in a fleeting workshop or a single course. They hold endless secrets to explore. It’s precisely for this reason that we created into a continuous community learning experience—a permanent sanctuary where your art can continuously grow.
