BRIDGING THE GAP – A SALAAM FESTIVAL
The New Art Gallery Walsall, 8th March 2014 

A festival of building stronger community relationships in a spirit of peace and unity through diversity and celebrating International Women’s Day.

As part of the Walsall Connecting Schools Programme 2013-2014, I had the opportunity to teach a group of pupils aged between 7 and 12 how to draw the eight pointed star pattern from Islamic geometric patterns.  The pattern was then traced onto tiles and painted by the pupils choosing their own colour to express their own individual creativity. After the firing process the tiles were tessellated to form "The Breath of the Compassionate" pattern which is the most commonly used pattern in Islamic Art and Architecture. This design is also used in other cultures and religions too. 

The pupils had the opportunity to see their final creation come together at the Salaam Festival at the gallery on 8th March 2014 and was also displayed at the gallery during April 2014.
