Ibrahim Said

Please join us for a two-day demonstartion workshop with renowned Egyptian ceramist Ibrahim Said, as he explains and demonstrates techniques developed from his family’s traditional pottery roots in Fustat, Egypt.

Along with wheel throwing demonstrations showing traditional Egyptian forms, Ibrahim Said will discuss and demonstrate the use of geometry in Islamic design as the basis for both traditional Islamic ware and his own sculptural ceramic work. He will walk through the steps from drawing on paper to translating designs onto clay. Ibrahim will also demonstrate how even similar underlying geometric structures can become a variety of different patterns in both relief and carving techniques.
