The fact that along with experienced craftsmen there are young and novice masters awarded prizes deserves special attention. At the same time, a great pleasure to see so many people who appreciate national and folk art. Such events contribute to the preservation of national traditions, the transmission of the secrets of art and knowledge from generation to generation.
I liked the presented products of craftsmen that have been made in a particular national style. They are distinguished by their uniqueness. I note that the work of Uzbek craftsmen are recognized worldwide.
I thank the organizers of this event for the contribution made to the preservation of the beautiful national-applied art of Uzbekistan.
