What To Expect
Take home a piece of Armenia with you in the form of a custom traditional doll, which you’ll hand paint and decorate with a local professional doll maker in the heart of Gyumri, Armenia’s cultural capital. First, you’ll select the traditional costume, called taraz, of your doll. You’ll have the opportunity to browse your host's large collection of traditional costumes from different regions of Armenia and select the one that speaks to you. Then, you’ll sketch the design of your selected costume directly onto a blank plush doll, and choose the colors you will decorate it with. Then comes the fun part: following ancient Armenian miniature painting techniques, your host will guide you through the painting process. You’ll experience the magic of traditional miniature painting and learn about traditional Armenian dress, all while creating your own custom doll. You can stick to traditional ornaments and colors, or create something brand new and unique – the choice is yours. While your doll dries, you and your host will also create custom accessories for your doll. Think belts, hats, jewelry, tools, and more.
