Our head

Burul Ablesovna is an Uz-Anar head with 20 years of experience in craftsmanship. 

She made her first steps in practicing craftsmanship when she was a schoolgirl. Burul Ablesovna mastered knitting thanks to her aunt. That had been the beginning for her. Burul did not plan to become a craftswoman in the future, but the hobby turned into her main job. After working in “Altyn Kol” LLC for 15 years, she finally launched her own business and founded Uz-Anar. Her wide experience gained in Altyn Kol was very helpful in the early days of Uz-Anar.
