Al-Madrasa

Amar is running a variety of workshop activities, teaching stone masonry.

The workshop, which takes about an hour and a half, opens up with a film screening of Acre, and a genuine Arab coffee, cookies and cakes aside.

During the workshop every participator gets a piece of marble stone, on which he/she draws whatever crosses her/his mind.

It can be a flower, a heart, or ones private name or surname. Later on Amar would teach him to engrave it, using a chisel and a hammer.

At the end of the workshop the sculptured stone can be taken home.

The study utilizes thousands years old traditional methods, Aong the workshop Amar explains about the masonry tools, the historic background of the stones and the buildings as well as the preservation of those buildings.
