Our journey begins in Chust, where master knife makers, the Suzangars, create the iconic Pichok knife, a symbol of status and tradition. 

We then move on to Richtan, where master ceramists keep alive the art of making vibrant pottery using methods that connect the craftsman to the earth. 

Both crafts reflect the enduring heritage of Uzbekistan, where each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and culture.
