Russian crafts and crafts

A large format gift edition about the crafts of Russia: from famous to forgotten arts - from Khokhloma to bone carving.

How were bast shoes made in the old days and how many months did one pair last? Why were men potters and what were children allowed to make from clay? What is morocco and grain? How to make a bench correctly?

In her book, Catherine Pushkina answers all these questions and quietly takes the reader into the depths of centuries. The author talks fascinatingly about famous industries, popular crafts, and incredibly beautiful things that Russian craftsmen made. And he does not forget to talk about what has been preserved now, how forgotten crafts and trades are being revived today.
