Basket Making Workshop

Al Jasra Handicrafts Centre will organise the Basket Making Workshop. The baskets made of palm tree fronds are one of the household utensils used extensively in the past, and their manufacture was considered one of the prominent traditional crafts at that time. In addition to making baskets, palm fronds are used in the manufacture of many household items such as dining mats, small plates, and hand fans. In the past, this profession was widely practiced in Bahraini villages such as Karbabad, Al Jasra and Al Budaiya.
