"This traditional industry is rapidly growing and has become an important business activity and a market that provides job opportunities for thousands of young people who are now interested in learning the basics of this heritage profession," the artist said.
Meanwhile, Ya'qoub Mohamed Osman, a Sudanese citizen working in the industry, said the Red Sea provides raw materials for making antiques of different shapes and different uses.
"We make use of the shells which are hurled by the waves to the Red Sea shore to make antiques in different forms and for different purposes," he told Xinhua.
"We use shark backbones to make key chains, and we use a shellfish, locally known as Karkit, to make desserts and tissue boxes. We also use other sea shells to make vases, picture frames, and accessories for women," Osman added.
The Red Sea State is Sudan's most famous tourist resort, with distinguished tourism venues including the beach which is one of the purest in the world, in addition to sea islands and nature reserves.
Furthermore, the Red Sea resort enjoys a variety of marine life, coral reefs and tourism-related activities such as diving, underwater photography and fishing.
As Sudan's main sea port and eastern gate, the coastal city of Port Sudan, home to 579,942 people according to 2011 statistics, lies on the western coast of the Red Sea, about two meters above the sea level.
