Bespoke Weaving Workshop
Hosted by the Uzbekistan Cultural Ambassador
Threads from home
In Bukhara, Uzbekistan, there is no such thing as ordinary textiles. Every colour and pattern carries a memory, a blessing or a story passed from one pair of hands to the next.
In this workshop, we will discover the textiles of Uzbekistan, focusing on bespoke miniature weavings. You will weave your own off-loom design, a small piece you can hang at home or gift to someone you care about.
All are welcome. No experience needed.
Event details
📅 Date: Saturday, 7 November
🕐 Time: 12–2 pm (please arrive 15 minutes early)
📍 Hosted by: The Uzbekistan Cultural Ambassador
🧵 Spaces: Limited to 15 participants
Tea and biscuits will be provided. You’re also welcome to bring a cultural snack from your own background to share, if you’d like.
This will be a hands-on workshop focused on learning, weaving and sharing stories through textiles.
From Shakhina (Our Instructor)
“Last year, I began weaving again and inviting others to weave with me. What started as a longing for home grew into an international journey. It carried my threads across the world to Malaysia, where I sat beside master weavers and saw how two traditions, so far apart, speak the same language of pattern and patience.
Every piece we weave holds a little of where we come from. I hope this workshop rekindles your love for making, and that together we keep these stories alive, one thread at a time.”

This meet up is hosted by Home London, where Third Culture Kids gather on Sundays throughout the year to connect, explore, and just hang out. If you grew up between cultures, moved around a lot, or never quite fit into one passport, you'll feel right at home here. We do everything from museum visits to park hangs to grabbing a pint at a pub. New faces are always welcome, so come say hi and see what we're about!
All the best,
Satori (🇬🇧🇺🇸🇸🇬🇹🇼🇫🇷)
Home London’s Co-Leader
