In the workshop of patchwork sewing, Gulmira Ualikhan is finishing work on another blanket. The stitching process is automated, and the specialist can only properly direct the fabric. Although all the work here, as in the old days, is made by hand.
Handmade products have always been highly valued. Their uniqueness is in exclusivity, whether it's canvas, interior items or clothes.

Nowadays you can find a lot of souvenirs on the shelves of the shops, which are made from a variety of materials and using various technologies. Souvenirs remind us of the places visited and the culture of the local people. Both amateurs and professional masters are engaged in the creation of figurines.
