For example, the Gyumri Mushurba. The birthplace of the unusual &#8220;gurgling&#8221; cup called Mushurba is Gyumri. It is considered the most desired gift for the people of Gyumri. Mushurba is made of copper, silver and rarely from gold. The uniqueness of this cup is that when you drink from it the water makes gurgling sound, from which comes the name of the cup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes a master 8 hours to make one mushurba. The secret of making mushurba is known only to the master Eduard Zhamkochyan. He is the only person in the world who makes mushurbas. To make mushurba, master Edik uses hummers that his ancestors brought from Kars. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditionally, craftsmen in Gyumri pass on their craft from generation to generation. They take their sons to their workshops and teach them their craft, as it is a family business. The tradition allows to pass the craft from father to son. That is why the family name was also closely related to the craft. Master Edik taught his son Suren the secrets of the art of making mushurba, and this secret continues to be passed down from generation to generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38441\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/1513399885_4167086.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38441\" class=\"wp-image-38441 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/1513399885_4167086.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mushurba\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/1513399885_4167086.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/1513399885_4167086.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/1513399885_4167086.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/1513399885_4167086.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/1513399885_4167086.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/1513399885_4167086.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mushurba \/ photo from Mediamax web page<\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-udxhx-3155143b90eb5f1d691128cad41ebcfd\">\n#top .hr.av-udxhx-3155143b90eb5f1d691128cad41ebcfd{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-udxhx-3155143b90eb5f1d691128cad41ebcfd .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#353535;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-udxhx-3155143b90eb5f1d691128cad41ebcfd .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#353535;\n}\n.hr.av-udxhx-3155143b90eb5f1d691128cad41ebcfd .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#353535;\nstroke:#353535;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-udxhx-3155143b90eb5f1d691128cad41ebcfd hr-custom  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h4><strong>Rope Walking or Modern Slacklining <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is difficult to define whether rope walking is a craft, an art or just a part of culture, but whatever we call it, you will hardly meet rope walkers nowadays.

Tinning is the coating of copper objects with tin to protect the surface from oxidation. In Armenia, the craftsmen who tinned the copper objects were called klekchi. Vaghinak Manukyan who lived in Etchmiadzin was the only one who knew about this craft in Armenia. For the master, his craft was the meaning of life, and the smell of the tin was a unique pleasure. Vaghinak passed on his knowledge to his sons in order to keep the ancient Armenian craft alive. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38450\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ai322801.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38450\" class=\"wp-image-38450 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ai322801.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vaghinak Manukyan\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ai322801.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ai322801.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ai322801.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38450\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vaghinak Manukyan<\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1jdr33p-1e74c30e4727a0d2f79c789508093342\">\n#top .hr.av-1jdr33p-1e74c30e4727a0d2f79c789508093342{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-1jdr33p-1e74c30e4727a0d2f79c789508093342 .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#353535;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-1jdr33p-1e74c30e4727a0d2f79c789508093342 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#353535;\n}\n.hr.av-1jdr33p-1e74c30e4727a0d2f79c789508093342 .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#353535;\nstroke:#353535;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1jdr33p-1e74c30e4727a0d2f79c789508093342 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crafts in Armenia have always been respected.
