Revival of 1000 years of art in Khatam in Fars
The deputy director of handicrafts of the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism of Fars said: with the launch of the art workshop of this art, 35 Shirazi artists will be trained under the supervision of two prominent masters of the art of inlay work.
Hemmat Mohammadi continued: The art of embroidery is one of the most important handicrafts in Iran and Shiraz, which has faced a recession and oblivion in recent years.
The art of embroidery, like other handicrafts, flourished during the Safavid period.
The inlaid pulpit in Shiraz’s Atiq Grand Mosque, which is more than a thousand years old, tells the story of the end of the construction in Shiraz and its original origin.
The quality and originality of Khatam Shiraz is well-known and the original Khatam made in Shiraz has a longer life than similar in other cities.
