I met Hisham as I wondered aimlessly through the bustling streets and markets of al-Balad, downtown Amman. The young artist who has been making sand art bottles for 7 years, invited me to sit and watch as he once again mastered his art of capturing the desert in a bottle! Click here to watch the video!
You can find Hisham’s stall in al-Balad, downtown Amma, opposite the Roman theatre.
Or email him for more info and to place orders: sandbottles@yahoo.com
Enjoy Amman!
