Wirth Institute showcases Saudi traditional arts at Falcon and Hunting Exhibition

The Royal Institute for Traditional Arts, known as Wirth, is introducing visitors to Saudi traditional arts through interactive workshops at the 2026 Saudi International Falcon and Hunting Exhibition. The event is being held at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham and runs until October 10.

The workshops feature two hands-on experiences in traditional crafts. The first, titled "Making a Falcon Burqa Medal," took place from October 1 to 5. The second, "Making Prayer Beads," is being held from October 6 to 10. Participants in both workshops learn about the tools and techniques involved and have the opportunity to create their own pieces.

The institute stated that its participation reflects its commitment to being present at specialized exhibitions and events that attract those interested in Saudi heritage and crafts, helping to foster direct engagement with traditional arts and bring them closer to the public.

Wirth Institute was established in 2021 as a unique cultural institution dedicated to training national talent passionate about learning and practicing traditional arts. Its strategy focuses on empowering, supporting, and developing the crafts and arts sector, contributing to the sustainability and preservation of the national cultural heritage.
