The Crafts District this year features a variety of pop-up shops displaying an array of various craft work, designs, and products. Located within an open-air structure designed by architect Dina Haddadin, the crafts shops will be open from 10 am to 10 pm throughout 6 - 14 October.
Ayadeena
The name Ayadeena is a tribute to the women who skillfully create beautiful hand embroidered products. They are skilled, patient, and ambitious women who are unable to leave their homes to work, either due to their tasks as mothers and homemakers, or because of the traditional view that women are not allowed to work outside their homes. Part of the income generated by Ayadeena will be dedicated to ensuring the empowerment of these women through tools and knowledge to help them succeed in life as well as within the company. Ayadeena will be showcasing and selling these products during ADW.

Iraq El Amir
The Iraq al Amir Women Cooperative Society began as an initiative by the Noor Al-Hussein Foundation in 1993 to empower women and preserve local heritage through the development of sellable handcrafted items. In 2015, Lina Asfour Kanafani, Founder of Mint, the design gallery based in London, invited Studio Gutedort (Germany) to hold a series of workshops for the Cooperative to develop new products within their existing lines that were design and environmentally friendly and financially sustainable. The efforts of these workshops resulted in unique paper bowls made from recycled paper and natural dyes, hand woven and naturally dyed fabric, and ceramic items, which will be available for sale at ADW. This pop-up shop is supported by Shams.
