About Umai فرش

ساخته شده به روش عشایری باستانی که توسط لیست یونسکو از میراث فرهنگی ناملموس در نیاز به نگهداری فوری مورد حمایت یونسکو قرار گرفته است ، این فرش به دلیل سایه های شیب پشمی و دوخت دستی خوب که باعث ایجاد بافت حجمی می شود بهترین نتیجه را از پشم در می آورد. 100٪ دست ساخته شده ، این فرش با استفاده از سایه های طبیعی پشم به علاوه رنگ زرد رنگ شده با پوسته پیاز ساخته شده است. یک نخ طلایی که از فرش عبور می کند ، اظهاراتی را بیان می کند و موهایی را که آزادانه در باد جاری می شود - موهای الهه عشایری اموی - محافظ زنان و کودکان را به یاد می آورد.

Production Technology
Creating Hair of Umay is a complex endeavour, following ancient techniques of shyrdak making and research of central asian legends included interviewing the elder women artisans in Naryn. Wool, the primary material, is sheared from sheep in the spring. It is then washed, dried, coloured, and pressed into sheets. The sheets are cut into beautiful patterns and hand stitched together. These patterns are quilted onto a large piece of plain wool base, creating a soft, thick, high-quality carpet.
Design Challenge
The rug is fully hand-stitched, cannot be imitated by a sewing machine. It takes one experienced woman-artisan 3 days to stitch one m2. It takes 6 sheep to make one rug of 3m by 2m size. The whole process is hand-made and very labor intensive.
Research
First, the technique itself was researched. Secondly, the ancient legends of central asian nomads were learned.The technique research included academic research about shyrdak making, traveling to Kyrgyzstan to remote mountainous region Naryn, where this technique is still kept by elder women, interviewing them, as well as participating in shyrdak making to experience and understanding the technique firsthand.
The research of nomadic legends included reading central asian literature and interviewing a university professor on Kyrgyz literature and history.
Inspiration
Inspired by a legend of Turkic and Mongolian people, about ancient goddess Umai - a benevolent spirit, the patroness of children and women. The mother goddess was depicted with golden hair, with a comb-shaped hairstyle. The rug drawing is depicting her loose hair in the wind
Project Duration
A custom rug takes two months to make including delivery. Workshop is located in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
