# Report: Syria's Traditional Glassblowing

## Introduction

Syria's traditional glassblowing is an ancient artisanal craft that represents an important part of the country's cultural heritage.

As the program chair for an artist co-op's summer workshop series featuring an expert Syrian glassblower, this report provides essential background information on this remarkable craft, its historical significance, cultural importance, current status, and the reasons for its recognition by UNESCO.

## History of Syrian Glassblowing

While the provided documents do not offer an extensive chronological history of Syrian glassblowing, they establish it as part of Syria's ancient and rich heritage.

The Levant region, which includes Syria, is described as "an important heritage repository for humanity" possessing "the most ancient and richest heritage.

" Glassblowing, known as "نفخ الزجاج" (nafkh al-zujaj) in Arabic, has been practiced in Syria for generations as part of the country's traditional craftsmanship.

The craft has historical connections to Damascus, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.

Traditional glassblowing techniques have been passed down through generations of artisans, maintaining methods that have been refined over centuries.

The documents mention that even international artists, such as Russian glassblower Yuri Lishin with over 54 years of experience, have visited Syria specifically to learn about its traditional glassmaking techniques and participate in workshops.

## Importance in Syria's Culture

Syrian glassblowing holds significant cultural importance as part of the country's intangible cultural heritage.

It is listed alongside other distinguished Syrian cultural elements such as the Damascene Rose, Aleppine Songs, shadow puppetry, and traditional wood mosaic craftsmanship.

These crafts collectively represent the depth and authenticity of Syrian cultural identity.

Glassblowing in Syria is more than merely a craft; it is a manifestation of national identity and cultural memory.

As one document notes, "Syrian heritage is memory and a fundamental pillar of identity, and how much we need today to preserve our identity and heritage in an era of globalization that tries to eliminate our heritage and culture.

" The craft embodies traditional knowledge, skills, and aesthetic sensibilities that have been developed and preserved within Syrian communities for generations.

Traditional glassblowing products are not merely functional items but artistic expressions that reflect Syrian cultural motifs, colors, and design sensibilities.

They represent the intersection of utility and artistry that characterizes much of Syria's craft heritage.

## Current Status of the Craft

The documents suggest that traditional glassblowing in Syria faces challenges common to many traditional crafts in the modern era.

While specific numbers of practicing glassblowers are not provided, there are indications that the craft continues to be practiced, though its economic viability has been affected by various factors.

The documents mention workshops on traditional handmade glass in Syria, indicating ongoing efforts to preserve and transmit the craft.

The participation of international artists like Yuri Lishin in these workshops suggests that there remains a community of practitioners maintaining the traditional techniques.

However, like many traditional industries, Syrian glassblowing appears to have experienced a "shrinking economic circle," transforming from a widespread commercial activity to what the documents describe as "heritage or folklore.

" This transition reflects broader trends affecting traditional crafts worldwide, as modernization and changing market conditions challenge the sustainability of traditional artisanal practices.

The difficult circumstances that Syria has experienced have also impacted the documentation and preservation of its heritage, including traditional crafts like glassblowing.

As noted in one document, "The difficult circumstances that Syria experienced were behind some difficulties, most notably the documentation of heritage.

"

## UNESCO Recognition and Urgent Safeguarding

Syrian glassblowing has been recognized by UNESCO as part of the country's intangible cultural heritage.

The documents explicitly list "نفخ الزجاج" (glass blowing) among the Syrian intangible heritage elements included on UNESCO lists.

This recognition places Syrian glassblowing alongside other distinguished Syrian cultural elements such as the Damascene Rose, Aleppine Songs, and shadow puppetry.

UNESCO's recognition of Syrian glassblowing as heritage "in need of urgent safeguarding" reflects several concerns:

1.

**Threats to Cultural Identity**: As one document notes, heritage has been "a target for colonizers since ancient times to destroy culture and identity, as there is no identity without heritage to rely on, and no heritage without identity.

" The preservation of traditional crafts like glassblowing is seen as essential to maintaining Syria's cultural distinctiveness.

**Impact of Globalization**: The documents highlight the challenges posed by globalization, which "tries to eliminate our heritage and culture.

" Traditional crafts are particularly vulnerable to the homogenizing effects of global markets and changing consumer preferences.

**Economic Pressures**: Like many traditional crafts, glassblowing faces economic challenges that threaten its continuation.

The documents note that traditional industries have seen their "economic circle shrink," making it difficult for artisans to sustain their practices.

**Documentation and Transmission**: The difficult circumstances in Syria have impacted the documentation and transmission of traditional knowledge, including glassblowing techniques.

UNESCO recognition aims to support efforts to document and preserve this knowledge for future generations.

**Cultural Preservation**: UNESCO recognition represents "an additional step to protect and preserve national identity.

" By safeguarding traditional crafts like glassblowing, UNESCO aims to ensure that these important elements of cultural heritage continue to thrive and evolve.

## Conclusion

Syrian glassblowing represents an ancient craft that embodies the country's rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions.

As part of Syria's intangible cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO, it faces both challenges and opportunities in the contemporary world.

The craft's inclusion on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding reflects concerns about preserving this traditional knowledge in the face of globalization, economic pressures, and other threats to cultural identity.

For the artist co-op's summer workshop series, the presence of an expert Syrian glassblower offers a valuable opportunity to experience and learn about this remarkable craft firsthand.

By understanding the historical significance, cultural importance, and current challenges facing Syrian glassblowing, participants can better appreciate the demonstration and techniques that will be shared, while also recognizing the broader context of cultural preservation in which this craft exists.

Content: Industries and Artistic Crafts between Tradition and Modernization
< img src = http: / / www.babnet.net / images / 2b / artisanat.jpg width = 100 align = left border = 0 >
M.D., M.D., M.D.
Emad Al Hussein (*)
First of all, I did not use in the title the term "traditional industries" as is common in our country, but I used the term "artistic industries" because the word "tradition" is a stagnation and death of artistic creativity and natural development.
I will then begin by asking the central question of this article: Should we preserve traditional industries?
Or is it developed according to the requirements of the modern era?
To answer this, I will present some problems for models of current traditional industries whose economic circle has shrunk and become heritage or folklore.
"..."
The first example is the pottery of Sajnan, which was registered as a UNESCO intangible world cultural heritage. I am very impressed by this approach taken by some parties in this file, as if the oldest technique known to mankind for the manufacture of ceramic by hand molding.
It is only found in the Tunisian prison system!
No (colombin ou boudin) and chords style
The second example is the manufacture of copper by the technique of forging, which is the oldest metal industry known to mankind, is still practiced by the same primitive methods since ancient times until the technique of coating red copper with transparent enamel to prevent oxidation and carbonatation and thus maintain its aesthetic and functional properties did not enter this traditional industry, but still copper coated tin...
In addition, the price of a kilogram of red copper is comparable to two kilograms of stainless steel (inox ou stainless) and the primitive method of forging is not able to compete with modern methods such as molding (matriçage) and stamping (estampage) because the technique of forging requires some hours of work for some seconds for the techniques of molding and stamping.
The third example is the manufacture of traditional carpet by the method of knots, which produces medium quality carpet for the thickness of the threads and the lack of hand tension, double the number of knots per square meter, heavy weight (due to the thickness and length of the thread), difficult to clean (due to the length of the thread) and expensive because the square meter requires about a week of work for a few minutes for automated carpet.
The aforementioned problems reflect the difficult situation in which the traditional industries sector is struggling, as it represents 11% of the active population, while it contributes only 4% to the gross national product and 2.5% to exports.
As a practical solution to the development of some markets of traditional industries, I have in the past proposed a vision or a road map on the supervision structures of this important sector of the economy through the methodology of participatory work in the complexes or markets. For this example, the industry of the formulator, whose production chain or manufacturing line (chaine de fabrication) can be divided between the different shops of the goldsmith market. For manufacturing (alloys, sheets, wires...)
Some shops are specialized in die casting, some shops are specialized in the synthesis of lobes (sertissage) and some shops are specialized in the refinement of the final product etc.
This division is similar to the production chain in large factories, which one craftsman can not cope with either technically or technically or financially, and the Secretary of Industry can play a role similar to the director of the factory, and some state structures such as the Office of Technical Industries can intervene in supervision, supervision, training, technical training, development and financing.
The application of this modernization methodology enables the development and opening of new horizons for some markets of other technical industries such as copper-and-steel, porcelain, glass, knitting, textile, leather, footwear...

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.

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.

Modernity and Renewal Conference concludes its activities by stressing the need to protect and preserve heritage
Damascus-Sana
The participants in the conference held by the Arab Writers Union in cooperation with Damascus University and the General Union of Artisans under the title (Modernity and Renewal in Arab Heritage) discussed many axes that focused on the Arab heritage, the concept of modernity and techniques of preservation and documentation, in addition to the importance of applied sciences and creative techniques and the method of criticism that contributed to its preservation and continuity.
The Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Dr. Adnan Muslim, pointed out the importance of this conference, which highlights heritage and modernity, and the relevance of this concept to the literary, intellectual and philosophical aspect, pointing out that the conference topics are a scientific, cultural, intellectual and social activity, in which ideas cross between researchers in Syrian universities and other Arab universities.
Dr. Farouk Aslim, editor-in-chief of the Arab Heritage magazine, pointed out the importance of this conference, which is being held at Damascus University in order to read the transformations and reach the best in the history of Arab civilization, especially in thought and literature, pointing out that more than 20 researchers from the Writers Union and universities of the country and some Arab universities concerned in the preservation of tangible and intangible heritage participated in the conference.
“Our Arab nation has a heritage that qualifies it to occupy its rightful place in the human society, ” explained Dr. Ali Diab, a member of the Arab Writers Union, noting that the West began its renaissance based on what it took from the Arabs to reach what it reached.
Diab added: "The heritage we take from our past and constitutes a force for us, which we hold to, while the inherited is the one in which the relief and the precious, it is our right to refuse the relief, because it does not reflect our originality in the past, and does not represent our current reality and does not look forward to the future."
For his part, Dr. Ahmed Ali Mohammed, a member of the Arab Writers Union, said that modernity in Arabic poetry began since the poet Badr Shaker al-Siyab appeared on the cultural scene, because of his new aspirations and visions without giving up the originality of poetry and foundations until another modernity came through the magazine of a poetry group.
Dr. Mohammed Ismail Bassel, a member of the Union of Arab Writers, said that the heritage, which spanned many centuries, neither modernity nor global culture could dissuade him from steadfastness, as he has the foundations and roots that left its effects in all systems of cultural modernity, especially in the field of poetry, many of which relied on what the heritage relied on.
More than 20 researchers from Syria and abroad participated in the conference, including Drs. Issa Al-Assafin, Qusay Ajeeb, Qasim Al-Qahtani, Fayez Al-Dayah, Ali Latif from Iraq, Mohammad Murtada from Lebanon, Ammar Al-Nahar, Abdullah Suleiman, Adnan Kabartai, Chairman of the Supreme Circassian Council, Mohammed Al-Tayyar, Khaled Al-Fayyad, Editor-in-Chief of Artisans, Ahmad Khader, and Mohammad Habash.

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.

Content: Danger of extinction threatens the profession of hand loom in Hama
Hand loom is an ancient Syrian craft that dates back more than five centuries. It simulates history and challenges the finest textile machines in the old neighborhoods of Damascus, Hama, Aleppo and Idlib. It forms the history of the textile industry in Syria and is famous for its elegance, which shows the quality of clothes and its unique exterior appearance.
The craft went through many stopovers for several reasons, despite its heritage and despite its long history, foremost of which is the absence of its market, and the lack of trained and skilled manpower.
In the province of Hama alone there were more than 3500 looms and many types remain today only 3, the owners challenge modernity and development to continue their profession and the manufacture of handmade textiles, one of the ancient heritage industries.
“The sound of loom no longer fills places, ” said Mohsen al-Dabik, a 65-year-old craftsman from the city of Hama, to“ Arm News ” during his talk about his profession, which began to disappear according to his opinion.
Fifty years spent by this man 60 behind his nose weaving “Barnas and multi-purpose towels, including Al-Araisiyah ”, is a craft inherited from his father, who worked in it since 1940, and says“ This craft has gone through many stops for many reasons despite its long history, foremost of which is the absence of its market, and the lack of skilled trained manpower, especially since the ancients and youth of new generations Stay away from the practice of this traditional craft, because of the lack of revenue on the one hand, and the lack of places to discharge these products on the other, which caused the cessation of dozens of looms used in the textile industry. ”
For his part, the craftsman Abdul Karim Akash talked about the weaving profession and the manufacture of handmade carpets, a heritage profession that dates back more than two thousand years, arrived to us from Iran, Iraq and Syria from the agricultural countries where the most important crops in our industry, the most important of which is cotton and animal wool. This field since 1968, and since childhood, I started to graduate in this profession to the extent that I reached the industry of the largest rug in the world. I have received many honors and I am working and will teach generations this profession in a final attempt to preserve what remains of the heritage of parents and grandparents.

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.
