A human approach

  • • Gor is a self-taught leatherworker
  • • His first piece was a small wallet for his wife
  • • He offers wallet making workshops for beginners

Gor Vahramyan is a leather artisan, who together with his wife Gayane, founded the Horus Leather Studio in Noyemberyan, Armenia. It all started from a small wallet that Gor made for his wife as a present and felt that leather making is the craft closest to his personality. Gor’s works resemble perfection and it is hard to believe that he is self-taught: he mostly learned from video tutorials. Using only natural premium leather, he makes everything by hand, and believes that one is always mastering a craft. Gor says: "I believe crafts are very close to the essence of human existence. Pursuing a craft has a meditative effect”.
