MUSCAT: Dr Rawya bint Saud al Busaidiyah, Minister of Higher Education, will sponsor on March 3, Friday, the Sultanate’s celebration to mark the Omani Craftsman Day in the presence of Shaikhah Aishah bint Khalfan bin Jameel al Siyabiyah, Chairperson of the Public Authority for Craft Industries and a number of those interested in craft work. The Omani Craftsman Day, marked on March 3 every year, coincides with the issuance of the Royal Decree No 24/2003 establishing the Public Authority for Craft Industries to promote the different types of craft industries in the Sultanate and maximise their contribution to national economy and sustainable development.


The celebration which will be held at Muscat Grand Mall from March 3 to 5, 2017 includes a craft exhibition that will include pieces of modern furniture and décor with Omani touches that are displayed for the first time. 14 craft establishments operating in wood works, fronds and textile will take part in the exhibition. A number of Omani craftsmen who won at the World Craft Council (WCC) “Award of Excellence for Handicrafts”, 2016 will also be honoured during the event. — ONA
