   Ancient Handicrafts\' Techniques
Seminars 


If you plan to visit Kyrgyzstan in the future, why not come to Naryn and learn how to make your own shyrdak or ala giiz? Altyn Kol can make arrangements for you to learn our ancient handicrafts from the Master Craftswomen who create our quality products.

Here in our mountainous country, you can experience the satisfaction of creating a unique object d\'art that you can return home with. When you return home you can share with your friends your own personal experiences of creating traditional Kyrgyz felt craft, from cleaning and dying the wool with natural colors to applying by hand colorful highlights to the traditional shyrdak designs.

Throughout the entire process you will be supervised by our shyrdak masters. They will assist you in all aspects of technique, design, and creation. Your days will be quite full as you enjoy the company of these wonderful women.
