(KUNA) – A workshop on weaving cup cozies was held at Bayt Al Sadu as part of the “Summer Cultural Festival 18” events, targeting participants aged 10 and above. The workshop is part of the festival’s activities and programs aimed at developing the manual skills of attendees.

Led by instructor Haya Al-Balushi with the assistance of Sanaa Al-Adwani, the workshop offered participants the opportunity to learn basic weaving techniques in a simple and practical manner, applying them to create custom cup cozies using various types of yarn.

In this regard, Al-Balushi told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the workshop’s concept involves wrapping yarn around a cord and repeating the wrapping process while securing it in a circular shape until the desired size for the cup base is achieved.

She noted that the workshop aims to enhance participants’ handicraft skills and introduce them to simple, practical methods for utilizing yarn to create functional items that add a personal and aesthetic touch to their tables.

Al-Balushi added that the workshop is suitable for beginners and handicraft enthusiasts, providing all necessary tools and yarn for hands-on practice, enabling participants to complete their projects independently and acquire a new weaving skill within the framework of the “Summer Cultural Festival 18.”
