Amateur artists have lauded the ongoing training courses in folk crafts and folk music organized by National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage (Lok Virsa).

A series of training courses in folk crafts and folk music was started from 10th of this month with an objective to promote traditional skills and inculcate awareness among the masses, particularly youth/students about the indigenous folk culture of Pakistan.

Talking to APP, an artist Fareeha Shah said, "its a platform where one could portray his or her artistic skills in a better way under the supervision by master artisans."

She said those registering themselves in such courses would have an opportunity to refine their skills and to highlight their work in an appropriate manner.
