Explore Persian and Islamic illumination (tazhib) with Behnaz Karjoo in a hands-on workshop covering gold, pigment, design, and spirituality
About this Event

In this three-hour workshop, participants will explore the traditional Persian and Islamic art of tazhib (illumination) with artist Behnaz Karjoo, who holds an ijazah, meaning formal permission to teach this centuries-old practice. Through demonstrations of gold preparation, burnishing, pigment use, and design construction, she introduces the spiritual foundations of the artform. Participants will be guided step-by-step through the creation of their own design, inspired by marginal illuminations in historical Qur’anic manuscripts.
