About Us – Celebrating the Soul of Uzbek Craftsmanship
UzArtisan.com is a digital platform born from a deep partnership with the Association “Hunarmand” of the Republic of Uzbekistan — the country’s official body dedicated to supporting and preserving traditional folk art and craftsmanship.
Founded under Presidential Decree No. DP-1741 (March 31, 1997), the Association “Hunarmand” unites over 27,000 artisans across Uzbekistan, including weavers, ceramists, woodcarvers, embroiderers, metalworkers, and more. It is a self-governing, non-commercial, and non-governmental organization established under Uzbekistan’s laws governing public associations and civil society institutions.
UzArtisan.com was launched with a singular goal:
To bring the best of Uzbekistan’s handcrafted artistry to the world.
We aim to:
Provide a trusted global platform where authentic Uzbek handmade products can be discovered, appreciated, and purchased
Empower artisans by giving them access to fair income opportunities and wider markets
Preserve endangered techniques and cultural heritage through sustainable trade
Connect heritage with modernity by offering traditional crafts for contemporary living
Every product featured on our platform is handcrafted by master artisans who have inherited their skills through generations — some of whom are officially recognized as People’s Masters or UNESCO awardees.
We craft handmade treasures that reveal the soul of your space — bringing warmth, heritage, and life into the places you already call home.
