Lonely Planet review for Radwan al-Taweel

Sixty-year-old Radwan has been engraving intricate arabesque patterns on copper and brass coffee pots, tea sets, lamps and trays since his grandfather taught him as a child. He takes about two days to decorate a large tray. Ask and he'll happily show you his well-used tools of the trade and his techniques. Radwan is very proud of the recycled brass shells, remnants from the war with Israel, that he engraves to produce umbrella/walking-stick holders - particularly the one he designed for Gadaffi.
