Springing from Jebel Jessasiyah

Join us for a unique workshop experience that will pull inspiration from the historic Jebel Jessasiyah archaological site.  This otherworldly space will be the starting point of the workshop, and participants will be introduced to a creative process that will lead to the development of atypical object d’art and homeware. The pertinence of the site lies in its remoteness, a place to mentally wander in all directions. The excursion will give participants the chance to immerse themselves in an unusual landscape from time immemorial. Exposure to an array of naturally occurring shapes, forms and petroglyphs, as well as a display of shadow and light will lead to unique insights and observations.  Participants will subsequently communicate their ideas, springing from the experience, in the form of illustrations and models, and will be encouraged to set aside the usual sensibilities attached to the design process.
