👪 For Grown-ups
Zellige Studio introduces children (about 5–11) to Islamic geometric art — the
star-and-rosette patterns that decorate mosques and madrasas from Morocco to India. Filling a tile also fills
its symmetric partners, so children feel rotational & mirror symmetry (the dihedral group D4) while
they make something beautiful. There is no way to lose and no timer.
Islamic content & sources
Geometric art is a celebrated, non-figurative Islamic tradition. No living beings are
depicted as sacred, and no prophets, angels, Allah or Shaytan are ever shown. Please review with a local
scholar if unsure.
