Taking place at the inaugural Islamic Arts Biennale 2023 (IAB), take the little ones to make their own handheld mirror while you explore the beautiful Islamic arts. After shaping a slab of clay into a practical hand mirror form, you will carve designs while keeping space for attaching a mirror. Note: this workshop is a bit tricky and requires some skill to make a practical piece, it is recommended for children aged 12 to 18.
