China Showcases Rich Heritage with Live Craft Demonstrations at Saudi International Handicrafts Week

As the guest of honor at the Saudi International Handicrafts Week (Banan), the Chinese pavilion is offering live demonstrations where craftspeople showcase a diverse range of traditional arts integral to China's heritage, including wood carving, purple clay pottery, embroidery, weaving, metalwork, and folk crafts like shadow puppetry.

 These artisans embody a civilizational philosophy that finds beauty in the details, combining respect for nature, ancient techniques, and contemporary innovation. Their demonstrations illustrate the intricate processes of drawing on wood, transforming clay into vibrant pottery, and weaving threads, feathers, and paper into stories passed down through time.

 This unique participation represents a living cultural bridge between Saudi Arabia and China. Visitors are invited to discover the depth and richness of Chinese civilization and witness how handicrafts can serve as a common human language that transcends both time and borders.
