Workshop “Pesvebi”, where traditional Kizikian rugs are created was founded in 2005 year in Dedoplistskaro. The studio used historical and ethnographical sources. From the very beginning, the studio's main purpose was to restore and develop traditional Kizikian handicrafts and involve local women in activities. In a short period of time, all participants learned rug and tapestry weaving techniques, making accessories from felt. Nino Bakhutashvili directs the working and educational process, she creates the design and determines the studio's mainstream. “Pesvebi” has the experience of using natural stains for dyeing. They used ethnographical material and renovated dyeing traditional methods, which was practically lost. At the studio are created the rugs, loom-woven bags.
