Paint and Tea Tezhip (Ottoman and Persian Art) Workshop

As the cooler winter days settle in, take a few hours to slow down, reconnect with your creativity, and enjoy the timeless art of Ottoman and Persian Tezhip in a warm and welcoming setting. Each workshop features a completely different design, so returning participants are always invited to create something new.

Tezhip, in Arabic,means 'gilding', 'gold plating', or 'decoration' . In its simplest form, Tezhip Art is a traditional decorative art form using gold and various paints.

Bring your sister, mother, friend, or come on your own and spend an afternoon creating something beautiful together.

Tezhip is the traditional art of illuminating manuscripts and calligraphy with elegant floral motifs, flowing designs, and gold accents. Rooted in centuries of artistic tradition, it is an art form that encourages patience, focus, and appreciation of beauty.

In this relaxing session you will:

🎨 Create your own Tezhip-inspired artwork step by step

🖌 Learn traditional motifs and painting techniques

☕ Enjoy tea and sweets in a cosy atmosphere

🤍 Connect with other women in a calm and welcoming space
