מידע נוסף
As part of the workshop, each male or female participant discovers the artist concealed within him or her, while engaging in basket weaving, when the cherry on the cake is the baskets’ reading – Sima Salima reads the baskets and tells the person who wove the basket, what the basket says about him of her.
The workshops are designated for individuals, couples and families, for groups, team building, women’s circles and birthdays.
A lovely store is also located at the site, selling handicrafts of women participating in a socioeconomic project called “Women Weave Peace” in which Arab, Jewish, new immigrant, Druze, Bedouin, secular and religious women are partners connected by their weaving work.
English guidance is also available.
