Saudi Arabia’s Royal Institute of Traditional Arts is currently offering amazing cultural and creative experiences through ‘Craftsman Bus,’ the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The institute has recently launched a platform on wheels to celebrate and revive Saudi traditional arts through an important tour across the Kingdom.
Set to run until November 23, the event features live performances, professional workshops and community art displays.
Crucially, the bus stops every week at King Faisal Park (Education Park) in Hafr Al-Batin governorate and the historic market in Dumat Al-Jandal governorate. Moreover, it will conclude its journey at the heritage village in Jizan.
Through live demonstrations by professional craftsmen, the bus amazes the audience with various traditional arts such as Sadu weaving, hand embroidery, wickerwork, leather tanning, incense making, stone carving and metal crafting to create ornaments and jewelry with a traditional flair.
Therefore, the visitors have a valuable platform to learn theses traditional crafts and try to practice them through interactive artistic workshops.
It is worth mentioning that the journey kicks off with Samri art in Hafar Al-Batin governorate, continues with Dahha art in Dumat Al-Jandal governorate and concludes with the vibrant Azzawi art in Jizan.
