About The Project
Feb 2015 – ongoing; self-funded through fees.
A knowledge exchange program between craftspersons and designers from al-Khalifa and outside it, the experimental phase targeted people interested in carpentry. This was followed by a group of workshops, including one that brought together a product designer and a lantern maker, another one combined copper artists from Egypt and Morocco.
In 2015, Athar Lina started producing a line of products inspired by al-Khalifa. The sales profits are dedicated to activities benefiting the community of al-Khalifa. It also set up a blog promoting al-Khalifa’s crafts. This would later become the seed of the line of craft products that developed Athar Lina Heritage Design Thinking School and for the websitepromoting al-Khalifa’s heritage and products.
A blog was set up to promote the work of participating crafts- persons.
