Russia-Matryoshka doll class

Traditional Russian Matryoshka Dolls are made in many styles and sizes. In the year 1900 the Russian "Matreshka" was awarded a medal at the Paris Exhibition of Applied Arts. Since then this lovely and entertaining art form has continued to win awards (and hearts) world wide. The shape of the dolls varies with the wood that was used. The wooden parts are hand turned in the same way they have been for generations. You will be amazed at the delicate strength of the pieces, and how well they fit together. The classic Russian dolls are of a figure of a girl. They were named "Matreshka" which is the traditional Russian "Matrena". We had a class with lady Kulakova Eleng from the cith of Vladimir.
