ISLAMABAD, Aug 25 (APP):Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) hosted a Handmade Papermaking Workshop by Zahid-ur-Rehman at the National Art Gallery on Sunday.
The workshop was organized on special request for a large group of 100+ students from Art Society of the Foundation University School of Health Sciences (FUSH) Rawalpindi. It provided a hands-on introduction to the art of handmade paper, emphasizing sustainability and traditional craftsmanship.
