Itinerary

1. The trading domes

   How Bukhara's covered bazaars worked, and which crafts were sold under each dome.

2. Embroidery

   A suzani workshop — the stitches, the natural dyes and what the motifs mean.

3. Metal and fire

   Watch metal chasing and visit a blacksmith who still forges knives and scissors by hand.

4. Miniatures

   A miniature painter's studio, with the pigments and fine brushes used for the work.
