Fateme Seyyedi; The traditional embroidery artisan said: This festival motivates master artisans and craftspeople in various fields to create artworks more magnificent than the previous year. People are proud of our historical background when they see these artworks up close.
According to the news staff of the 7th Fajr Handicrafts and Traditional Arts Festival (Sarv-e Simin-e 7), Fateme Seyyedi; the artisan and lecturer of Shariati, Science and Culture Universities and Azad University in the field of traditional embroidery, was the honorary chairwoman of the fifth day of the festival, who attended the National Museum of Iran, visited various sections of the festival and planted the fifth cypress sapling as a memorial. She also presented and trained her art to those interested at the particular table of Pateh embroidery art.
The honorary chairwoman of the fifth day of the festival said: Like other children in the south, I picked up a needle and thread when I was about 5 years old, and when I was 7 years old, I embroidered a Boteh Jegheh. During high school, I received a national rank and entered ministry of education. In fact, I was both a student and a teacher and I have continued this activity until now.
She went on to say that art requires experience and said: an ineffective and immoral master is like a fruitless tree. This festival motivates masters in various fields to create artworks more magnificent than the previous year. People are proud of our historical background when they see these artworks up close.
Fateme Seyyedi added: Our traditional arts have authenticity and even our young generation has a sense of beauty towards these arts and our history because they find their authenticity and roots in these artworks.
This university lecturer stated: Fajr festival helps to preserve our history and culture and the masters of different arts bring their art from a cozy corner to the field.
The 7th edition of Fajr International Handicrafts and Traditional Arts Festival (Sarv-e Simin-e 7), is being held from 15-23 February at National Museum of Iran.
