5.00Signed up for a class at The Geometric Art Studio, didn’t really know what to expect. Found out it about creating the same designs found at the Alhambra. Fascinating and the drawing and painting are a Zen experience! Mark was great, patient and knowledgeable. Came back the next day to complete and met Kate, who does awesome designs herself! Highly recommended!
Amazing Experience !

5.00took an Islamic art class with Mark, and it was one of the best things I did in Andalusia. Mark was incredibly patient and generous. I now have my first Islamic drawing, and I am so happy about it. I can’t recommend it enough!
Fantastic workshop!

5.00A fantastic workshop. They take you through the process step by step and we (3 sisters) were amazed at our own results. Kate and Mark are kind, patient and helpfull. The next day we went to the Alhambra and there we saw the work that went into creating the beautiful Nasrid Palaces.
This was incredible! Kate...

5.00This was incredible! Kate and Mark are awesome and have so many interesting stories about their travels. They’re so helpful at explaining the process. I wasn’t sure what my piece would end up looking like because I haven’t painted since elementary school and I don’t have the steadiest hand, but it turned out really well thanks to their help. It was a blast to get to learn more about the designs I’d been seeing around the city and to bring a souvenir home that I made. I definitely recommend taking a few hours out of your day in Granada for this experience!
A Glorious Art Experience!

5.00I took a workshop with the Geometric Art Studio in Granada the day after a visit to the Alhambra and it was fabulous. The teaching was clear and delightful, the materials sumptuous, the studio warm and inviting, and the atmosphere relaxed and refreshing. The chance to practice the geometry of Islamic art and end up with a beautiful finished piece worthy of framing, was a great way to gain an understanding of the complexity and grandeur of this rich artistic tradition. For anyone with a few hours to spare in Granada, I can't recommend this studio highly enough.
Wonderful afternoon art experience for the family

5.00Such a wonderful family experience! I took my daughter, 13 and my son, six to an art class with Mark and Kate. We had such a great time, both kids asked to return. Mark was a fantastic teacher for my six year old. My son was completely engrossed for the whole three hours. Mark created a entirely different lesson for him and even had my son do an extra project so my teenaged daughter and I could finish our projects. Besides having a great time chatting with Mark and Kate, and learning a bit more about the Alhambra, the studio is also a lovely escape from the heat. Can’t recommend enough.
Essential Experience for your Granada and Alhambra visit !

5.00Highly recommend this magical experience with teachers Kati and Mark. The workshop highlights your time in Granada and especially your Alhambra visit. Your awareness and appreciation of the intricacies to create the designs by the Alhambra artisans are carefully explained by the teachers in a comfortable, precise, step by step method and in a fun way. The result will absolutely astound you!
An afternoon to remember!

5.00My adult daughter Megan and I had the most wonderful afternoon at the art class in Grenada with Kate and Mark. We learned how artisans made the fascinating tiles seen @ the Alhambra and elsewhere and took home hand-made painted renderings as souvenirs. Could not recommend more. It was a relaxing afternoon and one of our favorite experiences on a three-week trip to Spain.
A very enjoyable experience for families

5.00A very enjoyable experience. Kate & Mark made us feel very welcome and relaxed. They both explained everything very clearly and made an extra effort with our little girl. Lots of fun, relaxing music and learned a few watercoloring tips too. Highly recommend
