TEHRAN - The 37th National Handicrafts Exhibition is set to take place at the Tehran International Permanent Fairgrounds from November 13 to 16, bringing together hundreds of artisans, craftspeople, and nomadic artists from across Iran.

The exhibition will provide an expansive sales platform for a vast range of traditional and innovative crafts, celebrating the nation’s rich artistic heritage.

From pottery, metalwork, and textiles to handwoven carpets and traditional jewelry, the event will feature diverse offerings from various regions, giving attendees a rare chance to experience Iran's crafts firsthand.

According to organizers, the event is an invaluable opportunity for artisans to share their craft and stories with a wider public, promoting cultural exchange and preserving traditional skills for future generations.
