The Art & Craft of Khatamkari

Khatamkari is one of Iran’s most beautiful traditional crafts, known for its intricate geometric designs and fine inlay work. Combining skill, patience and precision, it has been practiced for centuries and is considered a symbol of Iranian craftsmanship.

 

The craft developed mainly in the cities of Shiraz and Isfahan, each with its own distinctive style. Khatam veneers are made from natural materials such as wood, bone and metal. While there are many different Khatam patterns, they are all created from small triangular units.

 

In this workshop, you will learn how to draw traditional Khatam patterns using a ruler and compass, explore ways to create your own designs, and discover the process of making Khatam veneers.
