From Southern Uzbekistan, Gulnora Odilova is a master weaver, embroiderer and beader, reviving colors and designs of her native land. Her sumptuous silks, woven, petit-pointed and smooth, have their origins in 17th century Shakhrisabz-style motifs. Learning from her own mother, Odilova sources the silk locally and teaches other women the art. Named by Uzbekistan’s president as the best artisan in the country, Odilova is especially proud to revive this ancient textile.
