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.  @armenianembroidery @lizzyvartanian Follow @huysmedia for 🇦🇲 stories that inspire.
