Shape the Silk Road: Pottery & Ceramics Masterclass Tour in Khiva

Go beyond the walls of Khiva and discover a living craft tradition just 13 km from Itchan Kala, in a vibrant village on the outskirts of the city.

As you explore the space, you’ll witness different styles of craftsmanship at a high artistic level and gain insight into the cultural meaning behind the designs. More than just a workshop, this is a chance to connect with local artisans and experience authentic village life away from the tourist crowds.
