P | 3 SUNDAY 24 JANUARY 2016 | 03 COVER STORY of the workshop which organisers said generated interest with other artisans so there is a possibility to conduct more workshops in the future involving more participation from the wider internation- al artisan community. The areas tackled in the workshop were just some of those conducted by the department, said Al Buainain, add- ing the ladies create all the products by hand. Among the products made by the Productive Families are exquisitely de- signed abayas and jalabiyas; decorative artefacts such as scale models of tradi- tional dhow, inlaid work on tables, jew- ellery boxes and other items, ghawa set; wooden jewellery boxes; Arabic per- fumes and scents; paintings depicting Qatari culture; handmade paper; and colourful textiles in geometric patterns woven using Sadu — a technique em- ployed by Bedouin women in rural com- munities. The products are being sold in the local market such as in souqs, different shops and hypermarkets as well as pro- moted in other countries in the region. “Productive Families is a group of ar- tisans that produce indigenous handi- crafts approved by the Ministry to make and sell their products in the market and Artisans get a taste of currently we have around 800 mem- bers,” said Al Buainain.
