Koghb Art School & Yereqnuk Handicrafts

#MeetTheMakers

The creative team of Yereqnuk (Clover) Handicrafts was founded in 2007 by teachers of the Կողբի գեղարվեստի դպրոց / Koghb Art School, Arusyak Pashikyan, Anna Nasibyan, and Satenik Ghuljanyan.

Young artists study illustration and fine arts at the school and are involved in the production of leather wallets, bags, glassware, and metal jewelry for Yereqnuk Handicrafts.

Koghb Art School inspires young adults to complete their higher education and make a living in their hometown. The goal is to develop applied arts, create quality products, and create jobs.

Yereqnuk delivers thousands of products to HDIF every year, mostly hand-painted decorations and accessories, including HDIF's iconic Armenian letter ornaments.

Koghb is a major town and rural community in the Tavush Province of Armenia. It is rich with historical significance.

Nearby Koghb is the monastery of Mshavank with a restored 5th-century church called Tsghakhach, a 6th-century church called Tvarageghtsi, and a cemetery dating between the 12th-13th centuries. Also close by are two cylopean forts with adjacent Bronze Age tomb fields.
