Join us at the MIAH Gallery for a unique workshop where participants will create botanical illustrations inspired by Kitab al-Diryak, a historic Arabic pharmacopeia known for its detailed plant depictions. Guided by a skilled artist, you'll explore traditional art techniques while taking a deeper dive into the pages of this beautiful manuscript. Whether you're a beginner or experienced artist, this workshop offers a creative journey into the intersection of art, history, and botany.

All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary.

ABOUT MIAH FOUNDATION EVENTS:

The aims of the MIAH Foundation are to promote awareness and understanding of the history, arts, culture and heritage of the Islamic world, as well as the history of Muslims in Britain and Europe through exhibitions, education, workshops and events. We also aim to increase the representation and engagement of people of colour and minority groups of Muslim heritage with the arts, culture and heritage sector, through greater provision that considers their faith and cultural identities.

Our long-term objective is to raise funds to establish the UK’s first independent museum dedicated to the arts and heritage of Muslims and the Islamic world.
