Join Hany Mahmoud on his very first visit to Kenya. He is concluding the week of classes with a product sale featuring different items made using these traditional sewing techniques. The Tentmakers of Cairo are skilled artisans in Egypt who practice Khayamiya, a traditional hand-stitched appliqué art used to create colorful fabric panels and ceremonial tents. Khayamiya is an Arabic word derived from khayma, meaning 'tent', refers to a traditional Egyptian hand-appliqué sewing art.
