Islamic Azad University Actively Enhancing Persian Handwoven Carpet Industry
"Promoting Iranian carpet industry, producing hand-woven carpets and rugs, branding the University's products and selling them in the domestic and international markets are among the goals of the handmade carpet workshop of Islamic Azad University,” Seyedeh Nasrin Hosseini Monfared told ANA on the sidelines of Asreh Omid Event.
Elaborating on the handmade carpet workshop of Islamic Azad University’s Genaveh branch, she said, “In addition to selling the products of artists from Bushehr province in Southern Iran in this workshop, the students and interested people were attracted as interns and then they are supported by training them while creating a platform to enter the labor market until the self-sufficiency of the trained person.”
“This workshop was established in 2010 in a space of 60 square meters and it is a productive and job-creating workshop,” Hosseini Monfared said.
She added that as a national brand and emblem, Gabbeh and Glim are registered in the list of national intangible works, noting that the products manufactured in the handmade carpet workshop of Islamic Azad University have been displayed in several national and international exhibitions and were welcomed by visitors.
For centuries Persian carpets have been appreciated for their fine craftsmanship and high quality. These beautiful and unique handmade Persian rugs can be found in numerous shapes and sizes depending on where and who manufactured them. There are carpets for all tastes, from large carpets knotted in workshops to lively patterned village carpets and charming nomadic carpets.
