GEORGE TOWN: Visitors to the George Town Heritage Celebrations 2023 were fascinated by the time-honoured traditions featured in the cultural workshops here.

They went from one craft booth to another yesterday to try their hand at threading beads, folding paper effigies, making flower garlands, doing calligraphy and designing henna art.
