Led by Maham Zehra, participants will deconstruct the Arabic alphabet using a modular grid system, learning how to “build” letters with structural precision.

Participant takeaway: Each participant will create a finished, ready-to-display minimalist Square Kufic artwork featuring a word or phrase of their choice.
