Shafaqna English– The Artisans House in Jazan is working to preserve traditional handicrafts that have diminished in recent years due to modern technology.
This effort, to help contribute to the region’s cultural heritage, supports the Heritage Commission’s goal of developing Saudi artisans’ skills while promoting the aesthetic and authentic qualities of local crafts through training, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Some 30 artisans are enrolled on a year-long program focused on Qa’aid making, Taqiyah weaving, and seashell crafts, reconnecting with regional traditions.
