We will be recreating this beautiful twelve fold rosette painting found in Dar Seffarine, Fez and found all throughout Morocco. The unique style of painting featured is called Zouak ~  A Moroccan technique of wood painting.

​

 Instead of a wooded surface ~ this class will introduce the beautiful effect of 

Zouak style painting onto paper. 

 

Class will begin with a wonderfully insightful slide presentation exploring the traditional 

Moroccan crafts with Adam Williamson.
