As part of preserving heritage, we need to give attention to crafts and craftspeople. Their skills should not die with them, but should be developed to create new forms of crafts. A complete section of Heritage Week at Birzeit was dedicated to crafts including live shows by glass makers, pottery makers, and other craftspeople. A good example is the traditional glass-blower, here are a few photos I took recently:
Traditional making of glass objects through blowing.
