In partnership with the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, we welcome artisan in residence Sarah Al Hosani. Sarah is from the UAE and specializes in pottery-making and design. She is the owner and founder of Khazaf for Fine Arts, a ceramic and art workshop and production studio. 
 
Embark on an artistic journey with Sarah Al Hosani, a skilled ceramist from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. During her residency, participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of pottery through a thoughtfully curated series of events.

Following Sarah's demonstration on Friday, December 8 at 1 p.m., join us for an enlightening artisan talk. The talk will provide insights into Sarah's artistic journey, influences, and the cultural nuances that shape her work. This discussion will offer a deeper understanding of the craft and the artist's personal connection to it.
