Uzbekistan / DATE IDEA

Tea and a silk sketch.

Have tea at a teahouse and take turns drawing a small pattern inspired by textiles you saw that day.

Go at your own pace.

Uzbekistan adds color to a date: a platter of plov, blue ceramics or a walk past decorative tilework.

02 / HOW TO DO IT

Have tea at a teahouse and take turns drawing a small pattern inspired by textiles you saw that day.
Bring a small notebook.
Ask about local types of tea if you'd like to try something new.

No teahouse open? Make tea at home and use a book or photo for inspiration.
