GalleryTour

Step inside the hall and walk it end to end. Ceramic paintings, village scenes in clay, angels and firs — made a few metres from where they hang. The film keeps playing on the left; the room uncovers itself on the right as you scroll.

The Hall

The gallery hall in Hatsik with visitors walking along the painted walls

One long room, filled corner to corner. Paintings on the walls, clay figures on the shelves, and enough space between them to stop and look.

The Watercolours

Guests looking at a row of small framed watercolour works

Small framed works, hung close together in a long row. People slow down here — the scenes are village-sized and ask to be read one at a time.

Plates & Landscapes

Decorative painted plates hanging among landscape paintings in the gallery

Painted ceramic plates sit between the landscapes, so the round shapes break up the row of frames.

In National Dress

Clay figurines in Armenian national costume standing on wooden shelves

Figures in Armenian national costume — each one modelled, dressed and painted on its own, so no two stand quite the same way.

The Shelves

Visitors standing at the shelves of ceramic figurines in the gallery

Wooden shelves run the length of the wall and carry the smaller pieces — the ones that fit in two hands.

Up Close

A couple leaning in to look closely at the smaller framed works

The small works reward standing still. Guests lean in, step back, then lean in again.

By the Kiln

Visitors gathered around the ceramic kiln at the art centre

The kiln, where clay turns into ceramic. Everything on the shelves passed through here first.

Opening Day

Bouquets of flowers on the hall table on the exhibition opening day

Flowers on the table, the hall full, and the work finally out where people can walk around it.

The tour ends here.
The hall doesn't.

Come to Hatsik, walk the same wall in person, and pick up a piece while the kiln is still warm.
