Aiysha Amin Aiysha graduated from The Princes School of Traditional Arts in 2013. She received training in many different forms of traditional disciplines, and the language that connects them all, such as sacred geometry, islimi or arabesque designs etc. After graduating she set out to travel for a year to several countries as a personal spiritual pilgrimage in order to connect with different intentional Sufi communities. It was during this time that she travelled to Saudi Arabia with her spiritual guide. The journey opened up many vistas of understanding and more importantly brought to the surface pertinent questions pertaining to faith, spirituality, ritualistic practice and in general how we view and our relationship with the Sacred. Aiysha’s recent collection which she has been working on for a number of years deals with these themes and ideas; in an age in which the 'sense' of the Sacred is being lost, and only a few fragmented traces of origins of Sacred history and sites remain. Alongside this deeply personal project Aiysha works for the Greensville Trust (Liverpool, England) where she has been curating an exhibition called The Prophetic Relics for the last five years. She currently lives in Morocco where is furthering her knowledge on the traditional crafts and geometry.
