Abstract
islamic art is "the art produced for rulers or population of islamic culture" (Brend, 10). The islamic world is so large and varied that it should come as no surprise that each region has its own style. However because they share the same islamic identity, the styles come together producing objects that carried from one country to another.tile production was a secretive practice. Workshops were headed by an ustad (master craftsman). The ustad had many apprentices. Many of these apprentices were members of his family. This helped to keep the method of tile production a family secret. With the passing of techniques to family members, there is slight deviation in ceramics through the centuries. Sometimes after the apprentices had finished their training they would stay on in the workshop or opened their own workshops in other locations. This would lead to the migration of techniques to other islamic areas
