House of Traditional Arts’ (HTA) diploma-level course in traditional arts and crafts starting soon

House of Traditional Arts’ (HTA) diploma-level course in traditional arts and crafts starts in September 2016. Our course is a part-time, one year long programme taught by PSTA tutors from the UK, Saudi and Egypt. Student will study design modules including Geometry, Nabati Design and Colour, as well as modules in traditional crafts: Methods and Materials, Decorative Painting, Gypsum Carving, Wood Parquetry & Mangour, and Ceramics. Students will complete the year with a design & make project that brings all they have learnt into a unified whole.

We interviewed over fifty applicants to join the course; we selected twenty who will be the very first cohort of PSTA students at HTA, Jeddah.

HTA is a collaboration between Art Jameel and The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts. Our centre opened in October 2015. Since then we delivered series of part-time classes open to the public in traditional Islamic art, design and crafts. HTA also offers a public programme of community activities for adults, children and families at week-ends and during local festivals.
