Khokhloma is a unique ancient Russian folk craft born in the 17 century near Nizhny Novgorod. This is a decorative painting of wooden utensils and furniture, made in red, green and gold tones on a black background mainly. The painting looks bright, despite the dark background. The main colors used in Khokhloma style: gold, black and red. Other colors are also used to enliven the pattern - a bit of yellow, orange, green, brown and rarely, blue and bright tones of green. Traditional elements of Khokhloma are red juicy berries of mountain ash and wild strawberry, flowers and branches. Birds, fish and animals are also frequently found. An original technique of painting wood in a goldish color without applying real gold is typical of Khokhloma craft. Khokhloma painting originated in the 17 century on the left Bank of the Volga River, in villages Bolshiye Bezdeli, Maliye Bezdeli, Makushino, Shabashi, Glibino, Khryashi. The name of the painting "Khokhloma" came from the name of the village Khokhloma of the Koverninsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region, which was a major center for the sale of finished products. The abundance of forests, the proximity of the Volga River - the main trading artery of the Volga region - also contributed to the development of fishing: ships loaded with "splinter" goods, were heading to Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod, Makariev, famous for their fairs, and from there - to Saratov and Astrakhan provinces. Through the Caspian steppes Khokhloma tableware were sent to Central Asia, Persia, and India. The British, the Germans, the French were eagerly bought up Trans-Volga region production in Arkhangelsk, where it was delivered by Kholmogorsky tract. After the Paris World's Fair in 1889 Khokhloma products export has increased dramatically. In 20 century the tableware enters the citys of America, Australia and even Africa. According to the most common version, a unique way of painting wooden utensils "under the gold" in the forest Trans-Volga region and the very birth of the craft was attributed to the Old Believers, among whom there were many icon painters, masters of book miniatures who escaped in the dense forests from persecution for the "old faith". According to the second version, the art of imitation of gilding on wood, related to Khokhloma, was used by Nizhny Novgorod artisans in painting wooden utensils in 1640-1650 years, before the appearance of Old Believers. The method of painting wooden utensils with the use of tin powder, probably preceding Khokhloma, developed from the experience of icon painters and local Volga traditions of Handicrafts in villages Lyskovo and Murashkino, Trans-Volga regional "Semenovskoe village" (the district town of Semyonov in future). Khokhloma craft arose as a result of a combination of skill of icon painters and local masters of Woodturning and three-dimensional carving, transferring their skills from generation to generation. The Khokhloma folk art inherited from Trans-Volga regional masters the "classical form" turning utensils, plastic carved shapes of ladles, spoons, and from the icon painters - the picturesque culture, the skill of "thin brush" and, not least, the secret of making "gold" tableware without the use of gold. At the turn of 17-18 centuries the forest Trans-Volga region became a real artistic treasure trove. Currently, Khokhloma painting has two centers - the town of Semyonov, where there are factories "Khokhloma painting" and "Semyonovskaya painting", and the village of Semino (Koverninsky district), where there are the enterprise "Khokhloma artist", uniting masters of villages of Koverninsky district: Semino, Kuligino, Novopokrovskoye, etc. Items with Khokhloma painting is produced in the following way: first workers "break bakluchi", that is, rough bars of wood (linden, aspen, birch). Then the workpiece acquires the desired shape on a lathe or milling machine. The resulting products - carved buckets and spoons, postavtsy (low cabinets) and cups - the basis for painting, which is called "belyo" (white, unpainted blank). Making of "belyo" : After drying "belyo" primed by purified liquid clay ("vapa"). After priming, the product is dried for 7-8 hours and by hand is covered with several layers of drying oil (linseed oil). The master dips a special tampon into a bowl of drying oil (this tampon is made of sheep or veal skin turned inside out), and then quickly rubs it into the surface of the product, turning it so that the drying oil is distributed evenly. This operation is very responsible. The quality of wooden utensils, the strength of the painting would depend on it. During the day the product is covered with drying oil 3-4 times. The last layer is dried to a condition when the drying oil slightly adheres to the finger, no longer soiling it. The next stage - "tinning", that is, rubbing aluminum powder into the surface of the product, it is also performed manually with a tampon of sheep skin. After tinning objects acquire a beautiful white-mirror Shine and ready for painting. Oil paints are used in this painting. Brushes for painting are made of squirrel tails, so that with their help it was possible to draw a very thin line. Painted products 4-5 times are covered with a special varnish (with intermediate drying after each layer) and finally tempered for 3-4 hours in the oven at a temperature of +150... +160 °C until the formation of an oil-lacquer film of Golden color. Thus the famous "Golden Khokhloma" appears. The scattering of colors, wonderful ornaments, the deep meaning of each picture and symbolism - all of this distinguishes the art of painting in folk style. Khokhloma is a unique phenomenon of decorative art, recognizable all over the world. Khokhloma painting became a visiting card of our country, a symbol of the originality of Russian decorative culture.

Beautiful work, but no safety equipment. 😔

Hi Alena. I admire the artists and craft people very much. They are keeping traditions alive. All the items are so beautiful, it is impossible to pick a favorite. I have an egg with my St. Matrona's icon on it. All the flowers! I wonder if the love that Russian people have for flowers goes back to ancient times. Also, love the little cat who greets us at the start of the video. Happy video! Sending love and hugs to Russia from Florida. Nancy

На карте, в начале фильма, не указан Крым. Почему?
