Description

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. This unique experience takes place in an artistic pottery complex where you’ll see a wide variety of clay works, from traditional ceramics to creative modern designs.

Meet a local master and begin with a live demonstration, learning how raw clay is transformed using techniques passed down through generations. Then, get hands-on and create your own pottery piece with step-by-step guidance — no experience needed.

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.

Create, learn, and take home unforgettable memories from Khiva.

Amazing experience!

Our ceramic and pottery tour was outstanding from the moment we booked. We were taken to a master potter's workshop where we were shown how plates are painted and we each had a turn making a clay pot, with the help of the Master himself. He also has a beautiful range of ceramics to buy. Fantastic communication, great guide and translator. So glad we did it. Highly recommended!
