Moreover, this year artisans from Georgia will also participate in the festival and present their unique craft traditions.
The public festival will feature artisan demonstrations, interactive craft activities for visitors, and sales of new products developed through My Handmade Armenia’s activities.
My Handmade Armenia is one of the major initiatives of the My Armenia program, supporting the growth, and, in some cases, revitalization of craft traditions in Armenia’s rural communities including wood carving, textile, embroidery, carpet weaving, and pottery.
It is already the third year that My Handmade Armenia Crafts Festival is organized by the My Armenia Program, which is funded by USAID and implemented by the Smithsonian Institution.
