I love the drawing classes with Adam. I can highly recommend them. You will find your little flow state and can escape a busy life while diving into some detailed knowledge about the beauty of Islamic patterns.

Fantastic! I highly recommend this course.

Adam provided a good introduction to Morris’s work. Adam guides you through his drawing techniques in a very calm manner, creating a nice atmosphere. I don’t think it was ideal for beginners though - the pace is rather fast. I already was familiar with William Morris’s work and hoped to learn more about the tessellations specifically (and I had misunderstood that we were copying an existing Morris design). However, it was a challenging lesson and I feel it pushed my drawing skills further. I could take what I’ve practiced now and design my own plant-based patterns. It was a lovely two days shared with a positive group of people from all over the world, coming together to celebrate Morris’s work. Nice critiques at the end of each session. Very fairly priced for Adam’s considerable knowledge and skill! Thank you

A really absorbing dive into constructing a William Morris repeat pattern. The time whizzed by!

Both Adam and Henry are experienced geometry artists and teachers. They organize their trips in a relaxed way, going to very interesting places, meeting interesting local crafsmen. Highly recommended!

I have travelled to Morocco, Turkey, India, Uzbekistan and New York to take classes with Adam. The courses provide a unique way to explore an art form. I enjoy the meditative hours drawing and seeing the patterns in the architecture of the sites we visit. I had never studied patterns before my first class, and the lessons consistently challenge me while still being accessible to someone picking up a compass for the first time. The schedule is conducive to relaxing, and Adam has a special talent for procuring a delicious cup of tea or coffee when the hour calls for it. The other participants on each trip have been lovely! I am a solo traveler, and I have felt welcome and included on each trip. I have seen cities in ways not possible on other trips. I’ve already signed up for my next class!

I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to take two of Adam's classes — marquetry and plaster carving — at his London studio in Bow, and I enjoyed them both equally. Adam is a brilliant teacher — patient, highly skilled, and excellent at explaining everything clearly. I left feeling like I’d learned a lot in a short space of time and gained real confidence from the experience. I would definitely go back and highly recommend his courses. 🙏🏼
