Tuesday September 10, 6 pm - 9

Join us for a special one-evening, hands-on workshop with Tajik artist Maruf Miramatov, grandson of the original artist of the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. Maruf is in the United States for a limited time to restore the Teahouse, making this a rare and exclusive opportunity to learn traditional cultural artistic styles directly from a master.

In this unique workshop, Maruf will guide you through the intricate and colorful art of Tajik painting, a traditional style that can be found throughout Central Asia. He will focus on the Kundal style, renowned for its vibrant designs and meticulous detail, as seen on the stunning ceiling of the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. This is a hands-on workshop where participants will dive into the creative process, learning the techniques of making stencils and choosing the right colors to bring these beautiful designs to life.

Each attendee will have the unique opportunity to create and take home a small, personal Kundal style panel, a beautiful and tangible memento of this cultural experience. This workshop not only provides a deep dive into a traditional art form but also offers a chance to create something uniquely your own under the guidance of a master artist.

All necessary supplies will be provided, ensuring you have everything you need to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Additionally, we will be serving some of our delicious and award-winning premium tea, adding a delightful touch to the evening.

Space is limited for this extraordinary workshop, so don’t miss out on this chance to explore the rich artistic heritage of Central Asia with a master artist. Secure your spot today and be part of an unforgettable cultural journey.
