Where to look
Bazaars in Isfahan, Shiraz, Yazd, Kashan and Tabriz host many workshops. Local cultural heritage offices can suggest visits.
Be respectful
Ask before taking photos. Workshop visits are not an obligation to buy, but paying for a demonstration is a kind gesture.
Check locally
Opening hours and access change. Confirm details locally before travelling.
