Applications: Embellishing bags, rugs, clothing, and artistic wall pieces
Skill Level: Beginner-friendly but requires practice for stitch precision
Hands-on Training: Participants practiced basic patterns to build foundational skills
Trainer's Insight:
Al-Azmi explained in a press statement:
"The Naffash technique transforms simple stitches into intricate geometric designs. While easy to learn, mastering the tension and rhythm of the needle demands patience – but the results are stunning cultural artifacts."
