CeramaZart strives to uplift and empower individuals, foster a sense of cultural pride, and promote healing and reconciliation in the community.
"We represent CeramaZart studio, a pioneering initiative born out of the 'GOY' humanitarian foundation's commitment to... supporting Diaspora Armenian individual philanthropists and international charity efforts. Founded in 2022 in Yerevan's Malatia-In Sebastia administrative district, CeramaZart is dedicated to preserving and promoting Armenian traditional pottery-making culture while providing therapeutic support to those affected by post-war traumas.
"Through our flagship project, the CeramaZart studio-school, we offer clay therapy and pottery-making classes to individuals from Artsakh, providing them with a healing space to overcome their emotional challenges while learning and mastering the art of pottery. With the guidance of a psychologist-art therapist, participants not only develop their artistic skills but also cultivate a deep love for the craft, finding solace and empowerment through creativity.
"Our mission at CeramaZart extends beyond the studio-school walls. We are committed to providing professional opportunities for artists forcibly displaced from Artsakh, equipping them with the necessary tools, machinery, and materials to earn a sustainable income through their craft. Additionally, we aim to spread awareness of Armenian modern and traditional pottery traditions, showcasing handmade ceramic items adorned with intricate illustrations of Armenian ornaments, rugs, and motifs.
"At CeramaZart, we take pride in producing exclusively safe and high-quality ceramic pieces, coated with food-grade glaze and crafted with meticulous attention to detail by displaced Artsakh masters. Each creation embodies the rich heritage and artistic skill of our community, serving as a testament to resilience and creativity in the face of adversity.
Through our work, we strive to uplift and empower individuals, foster a sense of cultural pride, and promote healing and reconciliation in our community. With CeramaZart, we envision a future where art serves as a bridge between past and present, uniting us in celebration of our shared heritage and artistic expression.
