Step into the living craft traditions of Khiva and learn directly from a master artisan whose skills have been passed down through generations.

This immersive wood carving experience takes place inside the historic setting of Ichan Kala, where intricate wooden columns and doors have defined the city’s architecture for centuries. Here, craftsmanship is not just history — it is still alive.

Your experience begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the art of wood carving in Khiva. The artisan will explain traditional patterns, tools, and techniques, sharing insights into how each design reflects cultural meaning and heritage.

You will first observe a live demonstration, seeing how raw wood is shaped into detailed decorative elements. Then, under step-by-step guidance, you will try carving yourself.

Using traditional tools, you will create your own small wooden piece — a personal сувенир to take home. No prior experience is needed, and the session is designed to be accessible, engaging, and rewarding.

Throughout the workshop, enjoy a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Ask questions, interact with the artisan, and gain a deeper understanding of local life and traditions.

This experience is perfect for travellers who want more than sightseeing — offering a meaningful, hands-on connection to Khiva’s cultural heritage.
