KUWAIT: Sadu House held a workshop titled “Embroidery Using the Nafash Needle Technique,” as part of the 17th edition of the “Summer Cultural Festival” organized by the National Council for Culture, Arts, and Letters (NCCAL).

She added that this technique is commonly used to decorate bags, carpets, and clothing, as well as to produce distinctive art pieces.
