Content: Art of glassblowing returns again in Aleppo countryside liberated from terrorism

The town of Urem Al-Kubra in Aleppo province in northern Syria has historically been famous for its skilled glassblowing craftsmen. The war considerably affected this traditional craft inherited from our ancestors, but after the liberation of the city from terrorism, some artisans have brought it back to life. The artisan, Yassin Arab learned the glassblowing craft from his father when he was a child, and after the town was liberated from terrorism, he returned to his small facility, where he worked to restore it and start working again. Arab does not hide his enormous passion for the craft of glassblowing and his belief in the need to preserve this ancient Syrian heritage. Regarding the working mechanism, the artisan explained to SANA that he uses recycled glass, melts it again in the oven at high temperature, and then chooses a specific shape for its manufacture, whether hookah bottles, vases, plates, small jugs, fish houses for decoration, decorated cups and antiques of different sizes. After that, t he piece is blown, rotated and processed by the artisan until it takes its final shape using white and brown colors, and once the manufacturing of the product is finished, it is decorated and colored to give it the required aesthetics. For his part, Hussein Najjar noted that he learned the craft of blowing glass manually since he was young and has been working in this field for 40 years. He added that he is able to make any shape or glass container, using his imagination, and considered that the art of glassblowing is one of the types of plastic arts. Traditional glassblowing is a profession that dates back more than two thousand years (since the time of the Phoenicians) and was included in December 2023 by UNESCO on the list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity that needs urgent preservation.

Expo 2020 Dubai Today
Ancient Crafts Blown by Technology
T + T - normal size
Thuriyeh is the Syrian capital, Damascus, with its aesthetics, ancient walks and attractive colors.
It is filled with the cultural and societal vocabulary of distinct traditional industries, manifested in one of its prominent images by ancient professions, which have been associated with and named, since ancient times, by specific families who have practiced them.
However, these names, which are full of cultural and historical content, have become threatened by the threat of modern technology, which, with its various fields, has been “stolen ” by the descendants of the“ industrialists ” of the ancient Damascene professions.
The names of the majority of Damascene families are attributed to many of the names of traditional professions, where we find the names of families who worked in the textile professions and derivatives, including Bait al-Hayek, ropes, kattan, nouilati, maslati, Sabbagh, wool, and many more.
We also find that there are families that practiced the manufacture of shoes called Bait al-Jazmati, al-Sakafi, al-Kandarji, al-Bawabiji, Kabaqibi, while the families that practiced the profession of al-Samana, for example, Bait al-Khodari, al-Fakhani, al-Kuzbari, al-Khallati, al-Arqsoussi, al-Jabban, al-Labban, al-Zayat, and Sharabati.
The families working in the field of clothing and fabrics were named Bait al-Khayat, al-Kawa, and al-Hariri.
It is clear that these names have an important historical and social value, as they are linked to a cultural and historical component that tells the stories of the place and reflects its heritage and features of attractiveness, but it is remarkable that these nicknames, which were associated with important unique professions and were a strong indication of an influential presence. As they melt and disappear, the grandchildren abandon the origins of the craft or abandon it altogether, and they see it as useless and profitable.
This will lead in the future to the loss of a rich heritage, as Mohammed Samer al-Mahayri confirms to Al-Bayan, whose family is famous for the craft of making hodges and then boxes, hence the name, where he shows that hundreds of families in Damascus were associated with the names of professions as the city was an important commercial and economic center, pointing out that “there are many families with the same surname, but they are not related. It is not a city or a province, and one of these families is the Mahayri family, for example. ”
He pointed out that modern technology has become a real threat to an important traditional heritage component, namely the traditional crafts group, which has been abandoned by grandchildren.
Reflection
Al-Mahayri points out that the naming of families by the names of professions that were prevalent in Damascus reflected the values, culture and socio-economic level of those families.
He also explains that these crafts, together with the families, have left a great impact on the life of the Damascene community, a beautiful impact that should not be absent, and there must be specialized projects that protect and care for it by preserving the component of these traditional professions.
He continues: You find that it has developed professions and ended some professions turned owners to other professions, the barber family some of them moved to work in the soap industry and trade in the market of Bzouria, and the Arqsousi turned to carpentry also, and they originally were selling liquor, and many others.
Continuation.
In turn, Mahmoud Hamami, who insisted on challenging the waves of technological temptation and preserving the profession of his grandparents, where his family works in the profession of Damascene baths as a law graduate, but he continues to manage family-owned baths for decades, pointing out that « his brothers went to work in other professions, and this is the case of most families whose name was associated with the names of professions ».
Diversification
It is worth mentioning that the names of the Damascene families referred to are related to the variety of professions. At the level of confectionery industry, we find many family names associated with these professions, such as: Bait Ka ’ ikati, Halwani, Sukari, Knivati, Baggati.
While we find the house of Kahwaji, Hakawati, Rawi, Tetunji Tanbokji, and Arkeli.
As for the professions related to education, we find: the families of the house of the professor, the teacher, the teacher, the haja, and the osta, while the families famous for science, culture and medicine are called the house of the poet, the writer, the writer, the writer, the Arab writer, the wise, the surgeon and the case.
There are also many families that bore the name of the profession of blacksmithing, such as: Sankari, Bawabiri, Mujlakh, and Sheikh blacksmiths, while the families that made musical instruments were called the house of string, and Awad, while the families were named after the house of castles, stones and flint for those who practiced the profession of stone quarries.
There are family names associated with military professions such as: the house of the soldier, the lieutenant colonel, the soldier, and the brigadier.

The Damascene brocade craftsman Mohammed Rankous explained in his intervention that this cloth is made of natural silk and golden reed yarns and attributed to Damascus because it took its character, heritage and environment, such as the painting of Omar Khayyam, the Levantine Rose, grape clusters, the lover and the beloved, and the octagonal geometric drawings, pointing out that this craft entered the cultures of different civilizations.

Intangible heritage contributions to the protection of national identity
Amina Abbas
Heritage researchers and scholars agree that the Levant region is the most important heritage repository for humanity, as it has the oldest and richest heritage, and this heritage, both material and intangible, was coveted by the colonists since ancient times to destroy culture and identity, there is no identity without heritage based on it, and no heritage without identity, so Syria is keen through its institutions and bodies to emphasize the importance of preserving it.
Hence, the Quneitra branch of the Arab Writers Union, in celebration of World Heritage Day, decided to hold a seminar in the Levant Hall of the National Museum entitled “Contributions of Intangible Heritage to the Protection of National Identity ” with the participation of Dr. Amal Daccak, Professor Ruba Al-Diab, Qas Ghassan Houranieh and Dr. Rima Diab, Head of the Quneitra branch of the Arab Writers Union. It represents not only traditions and the past, but society in all its layers, and links the past to the present and the future, and it is a means for each people to prove its existence in the world and its authenticity, while stressing that the intangible heritage contributes to the preservation of identity and personality. Our identity and our heritage in the era of globalization, which is trying to eliminate our heritage and culture to be part of this lost world.
This was also confirmed by Dr. Dakak in her participation: “The Syrian tangible and intangible heritage is rich in its authenticity and civilization that dates back thousands of years, so it was and still is coveted by the colonists who stole many treasures to be in their world museums, and their war on Syria recently was aimed at destroying culture and identity and stealing antiquities. ” It is an integrated cultural unit formed by man throughout his long history with his creative thinking, observations, reflections and experiences accumulated generation after generation, and it is the social environment occupied by man and the components and pillars produced by previous generations until it reached subsequent generations and has the function of supervising the behavior of the individual and his sociocultural upbringing because it is a reflection of the social, intellectual and cultural life of peoples. As Daccak pointed out, the identity is the set of psychological, social and civilizational features of our nation throughout its long history, and the folklore constitutes the identity of a homeland rich in culture and civilization, calling in the era of globalization to seek to preserve our cultural identity and heritage, which represents this identity to face the challenges of globalization that invade us and want to eliminate our identity and culture. And our originality by drawing different borders in which national identity is absent and killing people in their country.
Because the Levantine rose and its associated practices and traditional crafts are important Syrian heritage elements inherited from generation after generation, and was included by UNESCO in 2019 in the list of intangible human heritage was talked about by Professor Al-Diab, who was crowned queen of roses and became Syrian ambassador to the world: “The Levantine rose was found painted on the wall of a palace on the island of Crete and was introduced to France during wars. As the poet Nizar Qabbani wrote about her,“ I am your Damascene rose, O people of the Levant, and whoever finds me should put me in the first vase, ” referring to the areas of its cultivation in Damascus countryside and Ghubartha. The project was launched by the Syrian Secretariat for Development in 2020 with the support of First Lady Asma al-Assad, affirming that Syrians consider the Levantine Rose an important part of their culture. The Ministry of Tourism has taken it as its slogan, in addition to many medical and cosmetic companies and building a path that is architecturally designed in the form of a Levantine Rose, explaining that the elements of the Syrian intangible cultural heritage include: Traditions and expressions “qaṣīda, mawwāl, ataba, dalaouna, zaghārīd, folk proverbs ” and the arts:“ Aleppo qadūd, coastal dabka, Circassian dance, Syriac church music ” Social practices “preparing and serving bitter coffee ” Knowledge and practices related to nature and the universe:“ cupping, traditional architecture ” Skills related to traditional crafts “wooden mosaic, brocade ” The crafts associated with the Levantine Rose ”, and that the elements of the intangible Syrian heritage included in the lists of human heritage are: falcon hunting, shadow fiction theater, Levantine Rose, Aleppo cod, glass blowing and making sticks and playing on them.
It is noteworthy that the seminar included the presentation of a film prepared by dr.
Amal Daccak spoke about heritage in our contemporary lives and its role in preserving our national identity, and the participation of the storyteller Ghassan Houranieh through a short story titled “The Levantine Rose ”.

The implementation period is 25 years … Aleppo announces the establishment of a heritage incubator that cares for the elders of Karar and prevents the extinction of craft professions
The heritage professions have been clearly neglected with the destruction of their incubators and markets during the harsh years of war on Aleppo, which includes a large number of handicraft and heritage professions, which necessitated a successful but belated attention from the concerned authorities to prevent the extinction of these professions and protect them as an important part of the national heritage.
The agreement included the establishment of a heritage incubator to take care of the products of the sheikhs of Al-Karar, extending on an area of   5 / thousand square meters in the city center (the old garage in Bab Jenin) near the market of Al-Bashaer.

The Minister of Tourism pointed to the importance of its location in a strategic location near the Bashayer market, which enjoys great interest and support from all parties.
For his part, Maad Medelji, President of Aleppo City Council, stressed the importance of this partnership agreement aimed at preserving heritage professions and preventing their extinction, especially as they represent an important part of the material heritage in the economic capital, through the creation of a gathering of Karar sheikhs to settle and preserve heritage professions, which contributes to preserving the cultural heritage of Aleppo city and achieves good investment returns for the city council at the same time.

The town of Urem Al-Kubra in Aleppo province in northern Syria has historically been famous for its skilled glassblowing craftsmen. The war considerably affected this traditional craft inherited from our ancestors, but after the liberation of the city from terrorism, some artisans have brought it back to life. The artisan, Yassin Arab learned the glassblowing craft from his father when he was a child, and after the town was liberated from terrorism, he returned to his small facility, where he worked to restore it and start working again. Arab does not hide his enormous passion for the craft of glassblowing and his belief in the need to preserve this ancient Syrian heritage. Regarding the working mechanism, the artisan explained to SANA that he uses recycled glass, melts it again in the oven at high temperature, and then chooses a specific shape for its manufacture, whether hookah bottles, vases, plates, small jugs, fish houses for decoration, decorated cups and antiques of different sizes. After that, t he piece is blown, rotated and processed by the artisan until it takes its final shape using white and brown colors, and once the manufacturing of the product is finished, it is decorated and colored to give it the required aesthetics. For his part, Hussein Najjar noted that he learned the craft of blowing glass manually since he was young and has been working in this field for 40 years.

Syrian Oud on UNESCO ’ s List of Cultural Heritage
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has inscribed the Syrian oud on its list of intangible cultural heritage for its unique sound and intricately handcrafted curves.
Although the oud machine is present throughout the region, the Syrian oud is known for its pure tones and unique and harmonious sounds.
Tony Tawil, who is one of the makers of the oud, said: "Many composers whose melodies are made on the oud, they do not use a second instrument because the oud plays more than 200 maqām, which gives the mark, half the mark, a quarter of the mark, and half the mark other than the guitar, which gives you the sound and half the sound."
"When we hit the chord, the chord recoil enters the cavity and then comes back out of the holes, the chord must be accurately occupied and the wood is correct and dry until it gives more resonance and the mark comes out pure and there is purity in the chord sound," he said.
But the oud industry was hit hard by the war and economic crisis in the years that followed, with demand for musical instruments declining.
With the oud inscribed on UNESCO ’ s list of intangible cultural heritage, the Syrian Secretariat for Development will cooperate with the International Organization for the Support of Artisans in promoting and selling their products in order to preserve the industry.
Rasha Barhoum, executive assistant of the Living Heritage Program of the Syrian Secretariat for Development, said:
This year the conservation plan will be launched and in the coming years there will certainly be bigger projects. ”

The Omani khanjar, part of the traditional dress worn by men in Oman, during national and religious occasions and special occasions such as weddings, is an essential element of Omani culture and its manufacture requires significant knowledge and skills passed from one generation to the next.
From Iran and Syria, the making and playing of musical sticks, was included in the list, and in both countries, the oud consists of a pear-shaped sound box, made of walnut, rose, poplar, ebony or apricot wood.
From Saudi Arabia, Oman and the UAE, “camel boots ” are included in the list, an oral tradition of calling out to camels, this rhythmic expression is inspired by poetry, and the shepherd uses a unique reservoir of sounds, which camels are used to guide the herds through the desert or pasture to an area for drinking, feeding and preparing to collect milk.

Abu Ammar sits next to his shop, succumbing to the rays of the falling sun through the openings of the roofed market in the old markets of Homs.
Pending the return of electricity to accomplish a series of tasks, the man in his 60s sews a wool scalp in a manual way, and despite sitting for hours, fatigue and old age, did not affect his ability to sew the piece.
Abu Ammar, whose name is Ziad al-Hussein, has been working as a "Farawati" since his childhood, inherited from his father and grandfather, and today he moves to earn his living between his workshop in the Bab Amr neighborhood, which was controlled by armed terrorist groups for a long time during the war on Syria, and his shop in the fur market in the city center.
“The fur market lost most of the profession during the war on the country, some of them passed away, and another migrated or left the profession, ” Abu Ammar reduces the situation of the profession, which he warns of the threat of extinction.
Farawati is an ancient handicraft whose main job is to transform sheep ’ s skin into a popular garment called “abaya ” and“ textual ”, where these skins undergo several stages of manufacturing until they are ready for weaving and use to prevent the cold, while some use them as decoration or to brush them on the floors of homes, while some believe that processed sheep skins give positive energy when they are hung on the walls of the house.
Farawati Abu Ammar told Sputnik: "I have been working in this profession for about 40 years, I inherited it from my father and grandfather, and before the war the fur market had more than 100 Farawati."
In his famous Homsi dialect, which is characterized by the pronunciation of the letter (Jim) as the letter (J) in English if it comes in the first word, and forced annexation of the first letter in the word, Abu Ammar adds: "(Extinct)..
Today there are only four people working in the market, ” he said, blaming the war conditions that affected all professions.
Abu Ammar al-Farawati, who returned to his market as soon as security conditions allowed, describes his relationship with the profession as his soul, which he cannot leave even when he is sick, and with some sadness adds: "None of my children accepted this interest (meaning the profession), because it is tired and manual," pointing out that "the tired in the profession is washing the skin of the lamb."
His poor eyesight did not prevent him from continuing to practice the difficult profession and he tries repeatedly to insert thread into the needle, continuing to talk to "Sputnik" smiling: "I used to insert thread into the needle (hole) while I was sleeping..
Before he left, he joked with his famous Homsi spirit of wit: "Today...
I put two glasses on top of each other, so I could insert a thread or a needle into the skin. ”
Abu Ammar explains that "the fur industry goes through several stages from washing it to the process of putting salt and" alum "and drying it and then skin and the last stage detail according to demand in different sizes or detail fits some sizes, indicating that he is currently asking for soft fur but does not exist because of the availability of the skin of a newborn lamb (put), pointing out that soft fur is required as gifts and for Arab sheikhs."
The profession of "Farawati" is about to disappear because of the decline in the number of craftsmen and the entry of industrial fur as a strong competitor that meets the desire of many customers, and according to Abu Ammar, his profession, which is a friend of the winter, gives an exceptional product of difficulty to match, because natural fur gives warmth that only distinguishes him.
There is a huge difference between natural and artificial body heating, which is why shepherds use it in cold weather as a garment, a mattress, a pillow and a quilt at the same time. ”

The profession of "Farawati" is the manufacture of natural fur, one of the oldest professions and needs a lot of patience and mastery, despite the competition of industrial fur and the high prices, where it starts from 100 thousand to 500 thousand Syrian pounds per scalp, and the demand to acquire it is still high despite the difficult living conditions suffered by the Syrians due to the Western economic siege on their country.

Inside his old mud workshop in the courtyard of his house in the al-Tay neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Qamishli in northeastern Syria, the Armenian uncle Mesak Pedrosyan, who is almost 90 years old, continues to practice the profession of grandparents, which he inherited from his family four and a half centuries ago.
Uncle Misak hits his foot on the pottery cupboard of his clay factory with its low wooden roof, its dilapidated walls and clay floor that emits the fragrance of the past.

The elderly Armenian also passes his fingers on pieces of clay to twist them as he likes, and art collections of different sizes come out of his palms to dazzle the hearts.
My last break on the island.
This elderly man inherited this traditional profession for his children and grandchildren, and he is one of the pioneers of pottery and pottery, the first and last in the Syrian Jazira region.
He is fluent in four languages — Armenian, Kurdish, Arabic and Turkish — but he and his family, like most Armenian families in northeastern Syria, prefer to speak Kurdish.
As for his profession, he said in an interview with Arabic.
“I was watching my parents, grandparents and uncles make the finest crockery in the city of Susan, Turkey, before we emigrated. ”
To Aleppo
Uncle Misak recounted the family ’ s flight from the massacres of the Ottomans in Turkey towards Syria, and ended up in Qamishli, saying: “My father arrived in the city of Aleppo and then moved to Qamishli, and opened his small workshop in the neighborhood of Qadurbek, and then the family traveled to the southern outskirts of the city, which is now known as the sailors of Tay, which did not exist nearly eighty years ago. ”
He added: “We ’ ve built our house since then and it ’ s still intact.
We started our work in the profession and over the years people came to live near us until it turned into a very popular neighborhood that we were the first founders of. ”
He got run over.
As for the stages of the manufacture of pottery, the old man confirmed that he is keen himself to choose the type of soil, and put it in special ponds prepared for it for days after sifting and running him down with feet.
Then Anton, Misak ’ s 45-year-old son, begins the process of kneading the legs in a primitive way, and sprinkles large amounts of clay with water until it is ready to form on the manufacturing wheel that Misak and his son work on, manufacturing clay skirts, vases, pigments, matte pots and special orders that some customers want.
Then the son and father prepare the pottery to be placed in two furnaces, one in the manufacturing workshop for small pots, and the second in the yard for large pieces such as skirts.
The drying phase begins by exposing them to air, and then roast them in a clay oven at a high temperature of 1200 degrees for about 15 hours and leave to cool and prepare for sale.
Low turnout.
“The turnout is low compared to previous years, and our work is related to the special requests of customers, but recently we have been receiving requests from restaurant owners who prefer to cook some foods in crockery and serve them to their customers, due to the healthy value of cooking with pottery, ” he said.
The Armenian uncle recalled the seasons of the pond earlier, as he described, and the pressure of working long hours to meet the demands of the owners of nurseries, who were planting varieties of roses, wind and various seedlings of planting in pottery pots, and regrets the Armenian uncle replaced them today with nylon bags, and the demand of the owners of nurseries to use them because of their cheap prices.
"We will pass it on to our grandchildren."
Several workshops in Aleppo, Damascus, Idlib and Qamishli continue to make pottery throughout Syria, despite the war conditions experienced by the country, and their owners are trying to save the profession of parents and grandparents from extinction, despite the low acquisition and use of pottery, as Mesak Pedrosyan explained in his speech.
"We will resist, preserve and hold on to the legacy of our ancestors and pass it on to our children and grandchildren."
