Is your inner artist lacking? Consider doing some cool artistic workshops and experiences, maybe even find a new hobby. You never know you may even surprise yourself, and have fun while you’re at it.
Al Sadu House Workshops
The Al Sadu House offers multiple opportunities to shop, learn, and even better, weave! Al Sadu house is a Kuwaiti treasure offering prime artifacts and antiques, but over the years it became a place where artistic expression blossomed. They offer weaving workshops where you can learn different tactics and patterns. If you are more interested in purchasing they also have multiple exhibitions a year where you can find Kuwait’s local artist’s work! But again, carrying along a skill not most acquire is an accomplishment, not to mention that also brings serenity to the mind (once you get the hang of it). Keep a close eye on their website at www.alsadu.org.kw or their instagram @Saduhouse for openings for exhibitions and workshops.
