From London to Armenia 🇬🇧🇦🇲

We had the pleasure of speaking to Lizzy Vartanian, who fell in love with embroidery at just 5 years old. After moving from London to Armenia, she realized Armenian embroidery wasn’t being celebrated the way it deserved to be. Now, through her handmade kits and educational videos, she’s helping a new generation discover the beauty, detail, and heritage stitched into every thread.

A workshop I gave in London in June 🫶

[AGBU (Armenian General Benevolent Union) @agbu]

Back in June, the AGBU Young Professionals of London chapter hosted an exquisite workshop to celebrate the ancient craft of Armenian embroidery!

Attendees had a great time learning to stitch and connecting over their shared Armenian heritage.

Lizzy Vartanian is an artist who uses embroidery to connect her past and present. Embroidery  for Lizzy is a modern way to share stories and keep memories alive. A talented embroidery artist, curator, and writer, Lizzy seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary art, breathing new life into an ancient craft.

Embroidery takes time and patience  it’s slow but full of love. In today’s fast world, this slow art helps her find calm and peace.

Now living between London and Yerevan, Lizzy is exploring how her mixed heritage shapes her work. Through her art, she brings together different cultures and generations, creating something new from tradition.

I was featured in this report on Armenian embroidery🥰

[CIVILNET @CivilNetTV]

Over the past decade, embroiderers from different walks of life have contributed to the repopularization of the traditional Armenian art form. Here’s how the craft has adapted to a modern market, while still preserving centuries-old techniques.
