The Young Artisan - Gypsum Engraving Workshop

Details of the Workshop:

As part of the "Young Artisan" initiative, Al Jasra Crafts Centre is hosting a "Gypsum Engraving" workshop. Gypsum carvings, which once decorated old Bahraini houses, are one of the most significant features of traditional architecture created by artisans. This workshop offers participants the opportunity to create a model house that replicates traditional gypsum houses.

 Workshop topics include:

• Identifying traditional houses.
• Identify the materials used in building old houses.
• Identify the types of gypsum decorations in ancient homes.
• Decoration of house models and then coloring them.

Workshop Outcomes:

A model of an old house with gypsum decorations.
