Aleppine artisans

Aleppine artisans refer to skilled craftspeople from Aleppo, a historic city in Syria. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship, these artisans specialize in traditional trades such as metalwork, glassblowing, textiles, and woodcraft. Their work is characterized by intricate designs, high-quality materials, and time-honored techniques handed down through generations. Aleppo has long been a cultural and commercial hub, which further enriched its artisanship. Unfortunately, the ongoing conflict in Syria has threatened these crafts and the artisans' livelihoods, leading to concerns about the preservation of this rich cultural heritage.
