Visit a blacksmith studio in Gyumri

When you enter Darbnots Studio, the fire blazes and sparks fly. The sound of melting and fire, dangerous at first sight, take you to that moment when you see how an object is made. In this engaging tour you will meet Hovhannes Mnoyan and his family of blacksmiths, who will tell you their family stories with great humour. You will learn what drives them to continue this ancient craft and how they preserve the image of Gyumri by protecting the blacksmithing traditions. During the tour they will demonstrate how a ring is made and you can take the ring with you.
