Shebeke Workshop — The Art of Light and Glass

A visit to a Shebeke Workshop is one of the best ways to discover the extraordinary craftsmanship behind some of Sheki’s most famous architectural details. Shebeke is a traditional decorative art in which small pieces of colored glass are carefully fitted into intricate geometric wooden frames.

The process requires exceptional patience, precision and experience. Skilled craftsmen can spend considerable time creating a single detailed composition. Visitors have the opportunity to watch artisans at work, discover the techniques behind this centuries-old craft and appreciate the incredible level of detail involved.

For travelers looking for an authentic cultural experience, the workshop offers something that cannot be fully appreciated simply by looking at photographs.
