Russian Craftsmen

What are bobbins? How did they embroider with cross stitch in Russia and what was the "goat" seam used for? What materials were used to weave lace? How does chamois differ from leather? A beautiful illustrated edition about how our ancestors lived and what they created.

Since ancient times, Russian female craftsmen have created things that astonish with their beauty.
These include delicate lace (Vologda, Elets, Vyatka), bright chamois boots, and embroidered towels – linen napkins that decorated the walls of the hut. By reading this book, you will visit different corners of Russia – from Tula and Mtsensk to Vologda and Moscow – and learn what Russian artisans are renowned for.

The book is in paperback, with bright illustrations and a reader-friendly font. It will become a favorite book for independent reading and a visual educational aid.
