Creative Patterns: Henna Workshop for Teens
Description
Discover the art of henna in this hands-on workshop designed for teens. Participants will explore traditional patterns, tracing techniques, and creative composition while learning how to transfer and decorate ready-made designs step by step under the guidance of the artist.
Throughout the session, participants will practise developing their own henna-inspired compositions and may choose to apply a design themselves or have one carefully applied by the artist at the end of the workshop.

Saba Alhawamdeh
Saba Alhawamdeh is a self-taught multidisciplinary and henna artist whose work spans oil, acrylic, watercolor, and sketching. She believes art should not be confined by rules or strict instructions, but guided by passion, feeling, and personal expression. Much of her work draws inspiration from animals and organic forms, focusing on emotion, movement, and connection.
Among the various projects and creative workshops she has conducted, one of her notable projects was a live painting installation at MIZA Abu Dhabi during The Alley season in 2024, where she created a large-scale acrylic artwork celebrating biodiversity and vibrant storytelling.
Through both painting and henna, Saba aims to create open, expressive spaces where creativity feels intuitive and accessible to everyone.
