The piece is decorated using the cuerda seca technique and features vegetal motifs: a tree of life formed by three lotus flowers joined by a stem and surrounded by a frieze of small rosettes printed under a green glaze. Once again, the heritage of the past inspires the contemporary creation of the Festival&#8217;s image.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the 4 days of the Islamic Festival, the programme includes a very diverse set of workshops promoted by various organisations and invited specialists.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emphasis on craft <strong>workshops<\/strong>, which give participants the experience of making work in palm, atabua, ceramics, tile or cane. The <strong>gastronomy workshops<\/strong> include the experience of Moroccan cuisine, the tea ritual, cheese making and cooking, and to finish on Sunday, a workshop on traditional Alentejo bread soup. In the P\u00e1tio dos Sons there will be music workshops with singing by Pedro Mestre and the group \u2018Os Alentejano\u2019, the viola of T\u00f3 Z\u00e9 Bexiga and the percussion instruments of the Dar Ziryab Cultural Centre. Also in the P\u00e1tio Riad there are demonstrative workshops on distillation and essential oils with local producers.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, this is a \u2018world\u2019 of experiences and learning that you cannot miss. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.festivalislamicodemertola.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.festivalislamicodemertola.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new image of the Islamic Festival of M\u00e9rtola is inspired by a ceramic bowl from the second half of the 12th century, on display at the Islamic Art Centre [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2048,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"colab_actividad":[],"colab_ubicacion":[],"class_list":["post-2257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2257"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2258,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2257\/revisions\/2258"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2257"},{"taxonomy":"colab_actividad","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/colab_actividad?post=2257"},{"taxonomy":"colab_ubicacion","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitalandalus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/colab_ubicacion?post=2257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
