The Ithra tower is hosting an art course focused on the traditional Islamic woodwork techniques of the Mamluk and Hijazi eras. Participants will engage in hands-on instruction covering carving, inlaying, and joinery methods.
Students will apply these techniques to create a hexagonal wooden jewelry box and contribute to the construction of a large-scale Mangour screen. The project incorporates traditional materials including mother-of-pearl, camel bone, ebony, and brass.
