THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Shahe Harutyunyan
Country: Armenia
"I was born in Aleppo in 1965, into an artist family. Inheriting my father's painting skills, I came to Armenia to study at Gegharves University, named after Panos Terlemezyan. I have incorporated many paintings that are dear to my heart into my own works, thereby expressing another world.
"After graduating from the academy, I began creating in Beirut and participated in numerous individual and collective exhibitions there.
"In 2013, I moved to Armenia and co-founded Brutshen Pottery Studio. Continuing our beloved work in our homeland was one of the most significant decisions for us.
"In 2016, the Ministry of Culture awarded us the title of People's Master, and we represented Armenia at the Pottery Symposium in Lithuania.""
