After graduating from the School of Art at Bukhara University, Fatullo was drawn to silk carpet designs from the Timurid Era (1370-1507), one of Islamic Art’s most brilliant periods. When he learned many old patterns had been lost, he copied carpet designs depicted in antique miniature paintings and recreated them with traditional weaving methods and natural dyes.

Feruza Khamraeva, Fatullo’s wife, is also a master weaver and dyer. She works with Fatullo at his Carpet Weaving Training School, teaching weaving, and develops designs as well as assists with dyeing. In addition, Feruza is a master of suzani embroidery.

With support from UNESCO, Fatullo founded and now heads the Training School in Bukhara. Its success was rewarded with UNESCO aid enabling him to open a second school in the historic town of Khiva. Much of the money he makes selling carpets goes back into his school. In 2005, the Training School won the UNESCO Seal of Excellence. Also in that year, the Training School received an order from the Belgium State Museum to make a copy of a famous 9th century Bukhara carpet. The Training School was provided with a sample of the original carpet so it could be recreated exactly.
