# Report on Syria's Traditional Glassblowing

## Introduction
Syria's traditional glassblowing represents one of the country's most distinguished artisanal crafts, particularly centered in Damascus.

This ancient craft has been an integral part of Syria's cultural heritage for generations, producing exquisite glassware that reflects the country's rich artistic traditions.

As the program chair for an artist co-op's summer workshop series featuring a Syrian glassblowing expert, this report provides essential background on this significant cultural practice.

## History of Syrian Glassblowing
While the provided documents offer limited specific historical details about Syrian glassblowing, they indicate that Syria has a long-standing tradition of handmade glass production that has gained international recognition.

The craft appears to have ancient roots in the region, with Damascus being a historical center for this art form.

One document mentions that Damascus is "the oldest continuously inhabited city in history," suggesting that glassblowing, like other traditional crafts in the city, likely has deep historical foundations.

The international recognition of Syrian glassblowing is evidenced by a Russian glassblowing artist with 54 years of experience visiting Syria specifically to learn about glass manufacturing and participate in workshops on traditional Syrian handmade glass.

This indicates that Syria's glassblowing techniques are distinctive enough to attract master craftsmen from other countries.

## Cultural Importance in Syria
Syrian glassblowing holds significant cultural importance as part of the country's broader artisanal heritage.

The documents suggest that traditional crafts in Syria, including glassblowing, are not merely commercial products but cultural artifacts that "have a civilizational significance rooted in Syrian culture.

" Each piece created through traditional glassblowing carries with it centuries of artistic knowledge and cultural expression.

Traditional crafts in Syria are often family traditions passed down through generations, similar to other crafts mentioned in the documents such as silver inlay on copper, wood mosaics, and textile arts.

These crafts contribute to Syria's cultural identity and are a source of national pride, with craftsmen often serving as cultural ambassadors who explain Syrian history and traditions to visitors.

## Current Status of the Craft
The documents do not provide specific numbers of glassblowers currently practicing the traditional craft in Syria.

However, they do indicate that traditional crafts in Syria face significant challenges that have likely affected the number of active craftsmen.

Like other traditional Syrian crafts mentioned in the documents—such as silk production, Qabaqab (traditional wooden clogs) making, and embroidery—glassblowing has likely faced numerous setbacks.

These include:
- The impact of war and conflict
- Economic crises
- Competition from industrial manufacturing
- Challenges in passing down traditional knowledge to new generations

One document mentions a craftsman who has been making traditional Qabaqabs for over 60 years and is "trying to pass it on to his children and grandchildren for fear of its extinction," which suggests that similar concerns may exist for glassblowing and other traditional crafts.

## UNESCO Recognition and Urgent Safeguarding
While the documents do not explicitly state that Syrian glassblowing has been included in UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, they do mention that other Syrian traditions have received this recognition, such as the Syrian Oud (a traditional musical instrument).

The general challenges facing traditional crafts in Syria, as described in the documents, would likely justify such a designation for glassblowing:

1.

**Threat of extinction**: Like other traditional crafts, glassblowing faces the risk of disappearing as fewer young people take up the craft.

**Impact of conflict**: The documents repeatedly reference the difficult conditions Syria has experienced, which have affected the preservation of traditional crafts.

**Economic challenges**: Traditional craftsmen struggle to compete with mass-produced items and face difficulties in marketing their products.

**Documentation challenges**: One document specifically mentions "the difficult conditions that Syria experienced were behind some difficulties, most notably documenting heritage," indicating that preserving knowledge of traditional techniques has been problematic.

The Syrian government and various organizations appear to be working to preserve these crafts, as evidenced by mentions of exhibitions to market traditional products, workshops to pass on skills, and cooperation with international organizations.

One document mentions that "with the inclusion of the Oud in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage, the Syrian Development Secretariat will cooperate with the international organization to support artisans in promoting and selling their products in order to preserve the industry.

"

## Conclusion
Syria's traditional glassblowing represents a valuable cultural heritage that faces significant challenges in the modern era.

While the craft has a long history in the region, particularly in Damascus, it now contends with the threats of extinction that many traditional Syrian crafts face.

The cultural importance of glassblowing, combined with these challenges, makes it a strong candidate for UNESCO recognition and urgent safeguarding efforts.

As you prepare for your workshop with the Syrian glassblowing expert, understanding this context will help you introduce the craft with appreciation for its historical significance and awareness of the contemporary challenges it faces.

The expert's demonstration will not only showcase technical skills but also represent the preservation of an important cultural tradition that connects to Syria's rich artistic heritage.

Will the kings and the rich of the world return to wear the Damascene brocade again?
Syria is witnessing an accelerated return of silkworm breeding, after the industry has been severely affected by war, migration and difficult economic conditions.
Damascus has historically been famous for its Damascus brocade, made of silk, gold and silver threads.
The kings and the rich of the world were keen to wear brocade on occasions, as a sign of luxury and high status.
The silk industry in Syria dates back to the first century AD, and was famous for the days of Queen Zenobia in Palmyra.
Over time, Syria has led the world in the production and manufacture of silk.
The British Queen Elizabeth II is one of the most famous lovers of the Damascus brocade, and at her request, the Royal Palace sent a request to the Syrian Embassy in London, for the Damascene cloth to be designed for the queen's wedding dress.
When she wore it to the party in 1947, it caught the eye with its embroidered beauty.
The Return of the Silk Industry
The silk industry in Syria has been subjected to several setbacks that have made it decline, including local and global wars, economic crises, and the government ’ s monopoly on its industry since 1963, in addition to the emergence of artificial silk.
Despite the disappearance of the Syrian silkworm and its near extinction, the government is now working to import eggs from India and encouraging breeders through financial loans, with the aim of bringing local silk back to the global market.
The head of the Damascus Chamber of Agriculture, Mohammed Jannan, told "Eram News": "We imported 100 boxes of eggs from silk worm, and were presented at a symbolic and encouraging price for breeders, and each box contains 30 thousand eggs."
He added that the coming seasons will see an increase in the import of improved strains of silkworm, with the aim of producing white and yellow silk.
Although there are many difficulties in bringing Syrian silk back to the forefront of global markets, the industry ’ s roots in the countryside, and the experiences of the hereditary families, can lead to a revival of the silk in a short period of time.
Silkworm breeding centers are distributed in the cities of Homs, Hama, Latakia and Tartus.
The Ministry of Agriculture is working to provide consultations and expertise to new breeders, and everyone hopes to restore the glory of Syrian silk, as a favorite cloth for kings and rich people.
Damascene Silk
A Historical Look
The writer Maya al-Shami says in her book "Syrian Silk..
A picture of a living cultural heritage ":" I was struck when I met a family in the mountains of western Syria, who have been creating beautiful silk shawls for more than four generations today.
It ’ s a heritage industry that needs to be preserved. ”
Al-Shami adds: "The silk industry is divided into several crafts, the cocoons need to make silk thread, and the thread needs to weave cloth.
Weavers sell fabrics directly, or send them for dyeing.
And sometimes the strings are dyed first.
These operations are separate, and each of them has its own craftsmen and craftsmen. ”
According to al-Shami, there were 16 Syrian villages breeding silkworms before the crisis in the country.
The production volume was two tonnes of cocoons, compared to 360 tonnes in 1970.
The whole family is engaged in intensive seasonal work, the worms are very sensitive and are adversely affected by pesticides.
“In parallel with the silkworm farming activities concentrated in the villages, artisans in cities such as Damascus produce unique brocade fabrics using metal and silk threads, using centuries-old designs, ” she says.
Each Syrian city is unique in its silk industry, and Maya adds: “Aleppo ’ s pigeons create silk squares embellished with abstract, symmetrical shapes in white, red, and black.
In Homs and Hama, weavers create traditional striped fabrics.
Craftswomen produce dresses that take days to make, dyeing them in a method of attachment and binding called the "waistcoat".
It is not surprising to pass by the neighborhood of Bab Sharqi in Damascus, to read on the entrance of one of the buildings the words: "The textile factory of Anton Elias Mezner, founded in 1890", as the old Damascus embraces a long history of silk weaving.
The silk industry.
Resist!
The city of Drakish is one of the Syrian cities famous for its silk industry.
But its famous factory has been out of operation since 2009, despite the government ’ s announcement in 2017 of a three-phase plan aimed at bringing it back into production.
The last decline in the silk industry began in the early 1990s due to low economic viability and higher costs of raising silkworms than cocoons.
In addition to the import of industrial silk.
Agricultural engineer Ali Ismail told "Eram News": "The difficulties of breeding silkworms boils down to the provision of berries leaves in time.
And the suffering is in the speed of marketing, where the sale must take place within 10 days before the production is ruined. ”
The Ministry of Agriculture says it has distributed more than 150,000 mulberry trees at a nominal price to breeders.
In addition to the support with expertise and equipment almost free of charge.
These grants are expected to bear fruit in bringing Syrian silk back to the global front soon.

Content: Syria ’ s Monuments Enter the Mowasat Tunnel and Adorn Its Walls
Damascus-Sana
This time, the plastic sculptures emerged from the halls and squares to enter the tunnels and traffic nodes, through eight frescoes decorated the Mowasat tunnel, which will be opened soon, inspired by the Syrian civilization, documenting its archaeological features, which constitute a distinctive identity for each governorate.
These paintings, which belong to the style of tunnel art, are a unique experience in Syria despite their spread around the world, and are in the process of finalizing the artistic touches on them, to depict the greatness of Syria through the ages and the cultural heritage left by the ancient Syrians as historical monuments scattered throughout the Syrian geography because of the importance of remembering and preserving Syrian antiquities.
The monuments of Damascus received the largest share of sculptures to give an artistic splendor to one of the most important construction and road projects in Syria, to open the tunnel with the words “This Damascus ” by the great poet Nizar Qabbani, which is one of the most beautiful poems in the description of Damascus Arabism, steadfastness and struggle, which was written in Diwani script.
After the phrase “this Damascus ”, the remaining seven sculptures, which is the facade of the Umayyad Mosque as one of the most important landmarks of Damascus, followed by the cuneiform writing on the tablet Ugarit from Latakia province, followed by the sculpture of the Arc de Triomphe in Palmyra, then the citadel of Aleppo and the gate of Kisan from the gates of Old Damascus.
It is opposite on the second side of the tunnel by Hama ’ s narrows and the facade of Souk al-Hamidiya, which adds to it a distinctive visual culture and an artistic scene, in addition to 12 columns carved in the shape of the Damascus citadel included in the Syrian flag.
As for the idea and topics of sculptures between the sculptor Hisham Al-Mleih, who signed the designs with his own fingerprint and distinctive style, that the idea of   the eight sculptures is from the scattering sculpture, describing the idea of   this work as new and presented by Preview Advertising Company, which is the supervisor of the murals project in cooperation with the province of Damascus.
Al-Malih said: “We sought in a deliberate and agreed manner to choose archaeological monuments with an authentic and diverse Syrian cultural dimension from most of the provinces in a way that enjoys the satisfaction of the Syrian street and takes into account the public taste. ”
He pointed out that the paintings, which continued to be completed at a record speed did not exceed five months, made of clay material and then placed with a cast of gypsum to pour the resin resistant to weather conditions, pointing out that the measurement of the paintings ranges between 6 and 7 meters in height varies between 2 and 3 meters.
As for the phrase “this Damascus ” and how to make it, he pointed out that the iron bars used in the construction of the tunnel and the road knot were assembled, where he cut it in an equal way to write this phrase as an indication that Damascus is like iron, no matter how long the factors of time and circumstances, it increases strength and rigidity.
On the confusion that was circulated on social media for the phrase Hadda Damascus, Al-Malih explained that it was due to the wrong angle of photography, in addition to the fact that the work was not completed yet, and that it was in its final stages and was not formed in its final form.
He expressed his happiness for choosing to accomplish this work, which he considered very important and helps him to reach the largest segment of the public and a cause of pride, especially as he was chosen from a group of Syrian sculptors by the executing company, hoping that the experience of tunnel art and traffic nodes spread throughout the country, and that each province is decorated with more than one archaeological landmark.

Embraced the traditional crafts in its small museum Baharat Hanania Damascene
Damascus-Sana
You cannot pass through the Damascene neighborhood of Hanania in Bab Sharqi without being stopped by the time at the gallery of Mrs. Sophia Al-Ashqar “Um Elias ”. The smell of the place leads you voluntarily to stand at the heritage of nearly a hundred years old, looking at the cloth, moving your eyes to the copper and mosaic, and drowning in the place to come the laugh of Umm Elias and take you back to its small museum.
As her sons and residents of Haret Hananiya describe it as a “fortress ”, it is a fortress that stands as the steadfastness of Syrian women through time. Umm Elias does not only tell visitors to her heritage museum about the concept and value of the work, but she sees it embodied in her spirit and in every piece she weaved with her management of the gallery for nearly 70 years, including during the war on Syria. The development of the Syrian kaftan.
The love of the homeland and the authenticity of Umm Elias overshadowed her work many times, and she acted as a guide to the foreign tourist about the history of Syria and the age of each piece she acquired, reminding them that Damascus is the oldest inhabited city in history, and stressing that she did not tire and did not tire of that task, especially when visiting tourist delegations to Haret Hanania and their acquisition of the heritage craft in the gallery.
Mrs. Al-Ashqar talked about how she developed the Damascene kaftan from a traditional folk costume to a modern one that has been mixed for centuries until the present day. Umm Elias, 83, manipulated velvet, silk, agbani and brocade fabrics with her fingers as if she were manipulating her grandchildren, to come up with a piece of kaftan that mimics the fashion of our times and the new taste.
The icon of Haret Hanania moves around the gallery, continuing to talk, and with her warm voice narrates her beginning with the needle and thread since she was ten years old, and like any girl, the first dress she knitted was for her little doll, and developed her passion for cloth and sewing, considering that her father and grandfather have been professionals for a long time. Qar received the third prize in the mosaic industry at the Damascus Exhibition in 1936.
Umm Elias did not spare us time, and despite her fatigue, which seemed clear on the features of her face, love and determination had a stronger presence appeared in the explanation and give the most accurate information. She talked about the visit of senior guests to the gallery of artists, intellectuals and prominent personalities. However, she did not think to move to another area outside Bab Sharqi. Glass, as well as icons, begins to live from 45 years to almost 100 years.
Umm Elias goes back to an ancient time whose effects were evident on a copper table occupied by Damascene hands, through the technique of downloading silver on copper, and is more than eighty years old, in addition to the types of wood such as mosaic, which is famous for her father 's craftsman Haneen Ashqar. With her hands she opens a wooden piece of art created by her father, a mosaic table that includes several levels of toys. Sometimes chess, sometimes Elias's mother turns it into a dice game.
It then moves on to Damascene ornaments, icons and small brides made of cloth to stained glass, which gives the place the spirit of life and confirms that each piece and masterpiece has a cultural significance rooted in the culture of Syria.
So that Umm Elias remains one of the many Syrian women who went through the war, and their heads are nostalgic like the ears of wheat, but they did not break them, and they remain tender and shameless, raising their muses to them whenever their names are mentioned.

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. ”

" Each piece created through traditional glassblowing carries with it centuries of artistic knowledge and cultural expression.

Traditional crafts in Syria are often family traditions passed down through generations, similar to other crafts mentioned in the documents such as silver inlay on copper, wood mosaics, and textile arts.

These crafts contribute to Syria's cultural identity and are a source of national pride, with craftsmen often serving as cultural ambassadors who explain Syrian history and traditions to visitors.

An art that resists extinction. ” In the past, the Kabbaq market was crowded before the holidays, to buy what was considered essential with the new Eid clothes, until the Shami proverb said, “The one who doesn ’ t get around the Eid money. ”
The report said that the market no longer has a share of its name, with the approach of Eid, we found only a few shops specialized in Qabqab, pointing out that uncle Abu Abdo, who has been a professional manufacture of Qabqab for more than 60 years, is keen to bequeath it to his children and grandchildren for fear of extinction.
Despite his age and illness, which exhausts him, he supervises himself daily on the details of the production and how to produce it in the form that people are familiar with and loved, as is firmly established in the character of Ghawar al-Tousha.
Abu Abdo said: "All of our relatives enter the Eid with clogs, and we are working to feed the Gulf countries with them, and we try to make clogs in fashion so that it suits all customers."
According to the report, which was presented by the Cairo News Channel, customers buy it as a souvenir after it has been turned into a heritage, and the customer does not distinguish between its various types such as Zahaf, Araissi and Shabrawi, and does not distinguish between the type of Khasbah, whether it is Hura, Safsafa or pine.

## Current Status of the Craft
The documents do not provide specific numbers of glassblowers currently practicing the traditional craft in Syria.

However, they do indicate that traditional crafts in Syria face significant challenges that have likely affected the number of active craftsmen.

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.

These include:
- The impact of war and conflict
- Economic crises
- Competition from industrial manufacturing
- Challenges in passing down traditional knowledge to new generations

One document mentions a craftsman who has been making traditional Qabaqabs for over 60 years and is "trying to pass it on to his children and grandchildren for fear of its extinction," which suggests that similar concerns may exist for glassblowing and other traditional crafts.

## UNESCO Recognition and Urgent Safeguarding
While the documents do not explicitly state that Syrian glassblowing has been included in UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, they do mention that other Syrian traditions have received this recognition, such as the Syrian Oud (a traditional musical instrument).

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 industry in Syria.
An art that resists extinction.
The "Cairo News" channel presented a television report entitled "The manufacture of clogs in Syria..
An art that resists extinction. ” In the past, the Kabbaq market was crowded before the holidays, to buy what was considered essential with the new Eid clothes, until the Shami proverb said, “The one who doesn ’ t get around the Eid money. ”
The report said that the market no longer has a share of its name, with the approach of Eid, we found only a few shops specialized in Qabqab, pointing out that uncle Abu Abdo, who has been a professional manufacture of Qabqab for more than 60 years, is keen to bequeath it to his children and grandchildren for fear of extinction.
Despite his age and illness, which exhausts him, he supervises himself daily on the details of the production and how to produce it in the form that people are familiar with and loved, as is firmly established in the character of Ghawar al-Tousha.
Abu Abdo said: "All of our relatives enter the Eid with clogs, and we are working to feed the Gulf countries with them, and we try to make clogs in fashion so that it suits all customers."
According to the report, which was presented by the Cairo News Channel, customers buy it as a souvenir after it has been turned into a heritage, and the customer does not distinguish between its various types such as Zahaf, Araissi and Shabrawi, and does not distinguish between the type of Khasbah, whether it is Hura, Safsafa or pine.

The world ’ s population has reached eight billion people.
In 1974, the figure was twice as low.
Since then, experts say, our planet has warmed by almost 0.9 degrees Celsius.
The daily consumption of energy by people, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels, worsens the deplorable climate situation.
But the key problem is that the carbon footprint does the most harm, writes Phys.org, citing the Associated Press.
The question is not population, but consumption patterns.
climate scientist Bill Hare of the non-governmental organization Climate Analytics (“Climate Analysis ”)
Representatives of this company create complex computer simulations that can track which factors are most important in the fight against climate change.
During the simulation, scientists found that population size made a small contribution compared to other factors, such as the global economy.
The world ’ s population is growing mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, “and they are making the least contribution to anthropogenic climate change, ” commented Colette Rose, project coordinator at the Berlin Institute for Population and Development.
She is confident that global population growth has slowed significantly and is likely to peak sometime this century, currently at less than 1% per year.
Comparing the two scenarios of the UN population projections of 8.8 billion people and 10.4 billion people, Drew Jones of Climate Interactive found a difference of just 0.2 degrees Celsius.
But the difference between the tax-free purchase of carbon or the increased price on it raised the temperature by 0.7 degrees.
“50% of the world ’ s poorest people are historically responsible for 7% of thermal gas emissions, ” said Katherine Heyho, chief scientist of the conservation organization.
According to her, the environment is most polluted by wealthy people.
Recently, conservationists said that beer is harmful to the environment.
Drinking even one glass can lead to irreparable consequences.
