MIAH Islamic Arts Gallery brings you our FREE half-term Islamic arts activity sessions! We are running two sessions per day across Monday - Wednesday of the half-term week (17th-19th February 2025). Each session will comprise of 5 short Islamic art activities, including:

• Geometric patterns

• Calligraphic compositions

• Creating your own Ramadhan lanterns

• Square Kufic stitching

• Contributing to the transcription of a hand-copied Qur'an

These activities have been supported through the generous funding from the University of Birmingham for the people of Birmingham to contribute to transcribing the full text of the Qur'an in traditional manuscript form as part of their Culture Forward initiative. We will ask all participants to contribute to this as one of the rotation of activities during the session.

Please note: You can only sign up for ONE SESSION - each session is a repeat.

All materials will be provided.
