Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - JEDDAH — Art Jameel, an independent organization that supports arts, education and heritage in the Middle East and beyond, Sunday announced the launch of Jameel House Online, a progra of online workshops inspired by the traditional arts. Intended for artists and enthusiasts of all levels, including children, the workshops have been adapted to contemporary materials and tools available around the home.
The sessions are delivered by local artists and craftspeople, including alumni from the Jameel Houses of Traditional Arts, Art Jameel’s network of heritage institutions in Jeddah and Cairo, and are available on Art Jameel’s website and social media platforms.
The first series of workshops launched Sunday is a home-grown first for Saudi Arabia, with sessions in Arabic, with English subtitles, taught by artists based in Jeddah, and focused on craft skills inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Saudi Arabia.
Sessions include painting the Flower of Life design with coffee, and making home decorations with geometric stars, both led by Rana Al Amoudi; making traditional kites at home, led by The Aleph Journal, an arts collective; crocheting an eight-pointed star using waste plastic bags, led by {Kees Chic}, a social enterprise; traditional paper-making by hand using scrap card and paper, led by Ammar Jiman; and ornamental drawing with Islamic geometry, led by Marwa Turkestani.
While the Jameel Houses in Cairo and Jeddah and the Atelier Cairo, Art Jameel’s center for Egyptian craft entrepreneurship, are temporarily closed due to COVID-19, these online workshops offer an opportunity for artists of all levels of experience, including children, to try their hand at crafts. All workshops are available on Art Jameel’s website and social media platforms. — SG
