Miniature Atelier 2026: Traditions & Techniques in Persian Miniature Painting
Following the success of our first Miniature Painting Atelier in 2025, we are pleased to announce that our next iteration of this immersive course will feature the Persian Miniature Painting tradition. This July, we welcome a group of expert tutors with diverse areas of expertise to our London studios for an intensive, multi-faceted engagement with this inspiring tradition. This week is a unique opportunity to engage with the practise and immerse oneself in this beautiful craft at the School of Traditional Arts.
Individual sessions will offer focused investigations of the methods and techniques of the discipline, from fine brush work and paper preparation to the natural and architectural elements depicted on a page. During the week, participants will engage with both practical and contextual aspects of the Persian miniature. Participants will develop technical skills for depicting nature and figures, textile rendering, and pigment making. They will also come away with a greater understanding of page composition and proportion.
In addition to daily sessions on specific topics, the week includes evening sessions, contextual lectures, and behind-the-scenes access to a prominent institute one of London premier collection of Persian miniature painting.
By the end of this inspiring week, participants will have an appreciation of the importance of poetry and storytelling in creating the pages and gain a multitude of skills. The week’s engagement will set up avenues of exploration which will equip students of miniature painting for months to come. We welcome both experienced painters as well as curious beginners who wish to dip their toes into this beautiful world.
