Description

This publication was made possible by the Patrons: Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the UAE Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, and Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah.

Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council supports crafts and craft processes that are sustainable and relevant to the cultural identity of the MENASEA region. As advocates for sustainability in craft processes and materials, documentation of natural dyeing processes is published to the public to foster the engagement of emerging designers with organic materials and indigenous recipes.

Khose is the Emirati word for date palm fronds. Date palm fronds are one
of the main materials used in creating Emirati crafts. For this reason, Irthi Contemporary Craft Council commissioned The Alchemy of Dyeing to combine methods of documenting natural and sustainable recipes for dyeing
palm leaves.

The Alchemy of Dyeing is a research and educational platform conceived by the fashion designer Mehru Khan and artist Nahla Tabbaa that dives into the alchemy of color making, urban foraging, textile dyeing, chromophobia, taste making and other complexities around organic dyeing.

Representing both traditional and modern crafts across the MENASEA and Central Asia regions, working with partner organisations, and championing artisans and designers, the Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council is looking at the empowerment of women professionally and socially. The council aims to provide a fresh narrative for women, by developing new market opportunities, and sectors, delivering social development programs and vocational training, as well as preserving the skills and rich cultural heritage of the UAE for current and future generations through its five initiatives: Bidwa Social Development Programme, which employs 40 artisans and provides them with vocational training and helps them find new markets for their skills through commercial collaborations and regional artisan exchange programmes. Artisan Skills Exchange Programme, which enables the development of artisans’ capacities and technical skills as well as social development through a series of artisanal skill exchanges within the MENASEA region. Hirfati Youth Programme that seeks to train and engage with the next generation of designers and artists through a mix of activities that combine traditional and contemporary crafts. Azyame Fashion Entrepreneurs Programme that aims to develop the next generation of UAE-based fashion designers through training, mentoring and business development. Crafts Dialogue, a unique project that brings together the Council with Barcelona-based Creative Dialogue to create works, which will marry Emirati and international crafts into contemporary designs. Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council is an affiliate of NAMA Women Advancement Establishment, an organisation that was established under an Amiri decree by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, and is chaired by Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah.
