Description
Discover the traditional Azerbaijani carpet art in Baku and weave your own mini carpet to take with you as a souvenir. Learn to tie knots with masters in this 2-hour private workshop experience.
This special carpet weaving experience in Baku is designed for those who want to get to know and experience carpet making, one of Azerbaijan's most established arts. This isn't just a workshop; it's a cultural journey where tradition, labor, and art intertwine.
The experience kicks off in a traditional carpet workshop. Master weavers will welcome you and first tell you about the history of Azerbaijani carpets, the meaning of the patterns, and the techniques used. You'll discover that every motif has a story, every loop has a meaning.
Then it's your turn.
You'll start weaving your own mini carpet under the guidance of the masters. You'll learn to knit, choose your colors, and watch your carpet slowly come to life. This process is both instructive and quite enjoyable.
Traditional Azerbaijani tea is served during the experience. You can chat with the masters over tea and listen to how this art is passed down from generation to generation.
At the end of the workshop:
You'll take the mini carpet you weaved with you as a souvenir
You'll receive a personalized certificate of participation
