Traditional handicrafts at the Beit Hail festival, in its third edition at Aja Park, attracted the attention of visitors and those interested in ancient handicrafts, for which the people of the desert were famous. A number of Sadu weaving practitioners have presented original works of art that contribute to the revival of the traditional hand-sewing craft that disappeared in the past, as they have been producing their works for years. Hessa Al-Turki has been producing her works for the last 30 years, in which she used various clothing fabrics such as Shalki, taffeta, chiffon and cloth cords, while Om Khalaf mentioned that she has been practising Sadu weaving for 45 years, inheriting the craft from her mother and grandmother. The aim is to revive, develop and preserve this female craft from extinction, highlight women's effective role in society and introduce the younger generations to folklore. Source: Saudi Press Agency
