International Art -

Tentmakers of Cairo

Hosam Hanafy Ahmed Mahmoud and Tarek Abdelhay Hafez Abouelenin will be coming from Cairo, Egypt, to demonstrate the traditional art of ‘Tent Making’ – this means skilled hand-sewn intricately decorated wall hangings, originally used to adorn the inside of tents.

“The origin of Tent Making, from our great grandfather who started the tent making work until recently, when we Fattoh sons developed the tent making and patchwork by using new colours and new designs. We produced the original Goha design which also was published in the book: "Goha the wise fool" that you can order through Amazon.”
