Our Islamic Art community membership is uniquely designed to empower beginners in their Islamic Art Journey. It is a one-stop shop for anything a beginner needs to thrive.
When you sign up you will get:
1) Uniquely curated Islamic Art Geometric and Biomorphic Pattern drawing sessions., carefully chosen from Islamic Civilisation. Each Islamic Art pattern is delivered by an array of highly-esteemed Artists, Educators or Masters in Islamic Art.
2) Painting technique sessions right from the mouth of the experts. We all know an Islamic Pattern is incomplete without a dash of breathtaking colour! In our painting techniques sessions, you will shortcut your learning of different painting mediums, techniques and tips by learning straight from the experiments.
3) Access to a global community of Islamic Art! We all know doing things alone is so difficult that you hardly get things done! What a wonderful blessing to have like-hearted souls from across the world connected in one place, all sharing their journey, getting feedback on drawings, sharing their reflections, asking burning questions and more!
4) Networking event: where you finally get to put faces to Instagram profiles. People you have connected by liking their work, possibly chatted together but never had the opportunity to connect and speak to one another!
5) Panel Discussions: an open dialogue for all of us to listen, explore and champion different points of view while keeping respect, love and dignity intact.
6) Bonuses: like exclusive offers and discounts on our courses, prestigious tools and more!

We only accept card payments. We securely process all payments through Thinkific Payment and you’ll get an email receipt immediately after purchase. If you need another payment method or a more detailed invoice for your records, please contact us at salam@gcislamicart.com and we will do our best to support you.
You have unlimited access to all Islamic Art Community lessons while you are actively enrolled in the membership. If you choose to cancel, you will lose your access to the lessons (PDF instructions, lesson videos, etc.) at the end of your paid period (month or year).
This is because our membership is similar to a gym membership where you pay for access to gym equipment and trainers, but once you cancel your gym membership, you’re no longer able to use the gym. We certainly hope you’ll stay and continue learning and painting with us in our Islamic Art Community!
If you cancel, you are always welcome to come back, but you will need to wait until our Islamic Art community enrollment doors open again. Join waitlist here
