About this experience
The Bukhara region has a long ceramic tradition, with the workshops of nearby Gijduvan known for their warm yellow, brown and green glazes. In this workshop a local ceramic artist shows you how pieces are thrown, decorated and fired.
You'll try the potter's wheel and paint a traditional pattern yourself. Ask about shipping or collecting a finished piece — firing and glazing take time, so this is arranged with the workshop when you confirm.
