The wait finally is over for Bahraini blacksmiths.
The authorities are now exploring options for establishing a heritage market for blacksmiths in the Kingdom.
MP Ammar Al-Abbas said the Ministry is looking forward to establishing the market in one of the existing projects.
Authorities are also mulling the possibilities of establishing an independent market, given an appropriate site and budget is available.
Blacksmithing is an ancient trade that, like other crafts, saw a downturn during the Industrial Revolution.
Now, the profession is having a small revival as they build new ways of connecting with customers. But it’s still not a huge industry. However, several people in the Kingdom practice this profession.
