Join talented master woodcarver, Naseer Yasna Mansouri, as he discusses his journey of inspiration from apprentice as an Afghan refugee in Iran, to working on the restoration of historic buildings in the Old City of Kabul, to reinventing his craft at his London-based workshop, Lazo Studios. Based on examples in the V&A’s collection of carved wooden objects from Central Asia, especially modern-day Uzbekistan, Naseer will discuss and demonstrate different techniques and design approaches. These will range from simple chip-carving, to more complex geometric techniques, to the most complex style of all, floral motifs.
