Dumat Al-Jandal:Artists at the Agricultural Processing Products Festival in Dumat Al-Jandal Governorate showcased sculptures made from date seeds and palm fronds, alongside paintings and handicrafts featuring colors produced from stones and plants.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the festival was organized by the Al-Jouf branch of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture and concluded on Saturday. It featured artworks made from a variety of materials derived from local natural resources.

Artists utilized the abundance of agricultural produce in the governorate, using date seeds and palm fronds to create sculptures that highlight the artistic potential of these materials. The work demonstrated how components of the palm tree can be repurposed into pieces that combine craftsmanship and aesthetic value.

The exhibits also included experiments in producing colors from natural sources. Artists used stones and colored aromatic plants to create pigments, which were then applied to paintings and handicrafts, further extending the use of local natural resources to the colors incorporated into their work.

The festival aimed to raise awareness of processing industries based on the abundant agricultural produce of the Al-Jouf Region, including dates, olives, honey, vegetables, and fruits.
