What are the arts and crafts of Pakistan?

Answer 1

The Arts and Crafts of Pakistan vary by region. Each of the provinces and affiliated territories have regional crafts unique to them. Here are a few regions/cities with their distinctive crafts: 1. Peshawar: hand etched copper and brass decorations and house-wares boasting elaborate floral and arabesque patterns. 2. Multan: Hand-crafted glazed terracotta tiles. Multan has been famous for its tiles for centuries. 3. Baluchistan: The province produces fine hand-woven tribal rugs (Kilims). 4. DG Khan; Famous for its unique style of embroidery 5. Kashmir: Chain-Stitched embroidered fabrics and hand-woven wool shawls 6. Lahore: Hand-crafted sterling silverware. Tis is largely a dying craft. Carved marble fire-places, tables, and statuary is also a small but well-established industry. 7. Bahawalpur: Elaborately embroidered shoes locally known as Khussas 8. Thar desert and rural Sindh: Chanarris (a kind of tie-and-dye fabric) as well as Ajraks (eleborately block-printed fabric) are produced here by local artisans. 9. NWFP: Various regions in NWFP produce marble Chess sets, decorative goblets and tea sets. 10. Chiniot: The city is fabled for its wood-work. The craftsmanship is exquisite. 11. Gujrat: The hub of fine furniture. The thriving industry has attracted many fine woodworkers and wood carvers from all over the country. 12. Various: Artisans producing fine and folk arts can be found all over the country. With a growing middle-class, the patronage of arts is on the rise.
