Nuqat Enriches our Community

I have announced Nuqat Foundation's workshops on my Save the Date page a few weeks ago.  Unfortunately, due to prior commitments I was unable to enroll in the Calligraphy workshop. And after seeing the photos of the workshop on Nuqat's blog, I feel like beating myself up for not attending! Then again it's not like I had a choice! Sigh! Anyways, I was excited to see that the workshops were/are being held at the recently renovated  historical building "Alqibliya School" in Kuwait City.  I think just being there sets you into the right mood for creativity and focusing on the instructors' main messages. This week is Nuqat's last workshop, they will be running a Street Art: Digital Graffiti workshop starting tomorrow May 16th-18th, from 5pm to 9pm. I think it would be nice for the people behind Nuqat to run a mini poll on their blog or site to get feedback from people who are interested in this field on what kind of workshops to run  in the future.

You can check Nuqat Foundation's blog here for more information and to view photos of the previously conducted workshops. If you're interested to find out more, please contact info@nuqatfoundation.com or call (+965) 9770-6522.

Work in progress
The Nuqat team with instructor Saleh Al Shukairi which hosted a workshop titled Introduction to Arabic Calligraphy.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
