Ekaterina Krasnova
Hello, dear guests!
My name is Ekaterina, and I am a master of arts and crafts and an art therapist. In a cozy workshop in one of the traditional northern huts of the Old Village, I create handmade items and conduct creative classes in the following areas:
1) Pottery and hand-sculpting clay, decorating with stamps/textures and painting with engobes/glazes followed by firing to create authentic ceramics (vases, mugs, plates, pots, bowls, candlesticks; bells and whistles, etc.)
2) Hand-weaving of play and protective symbols from bast (the bark of a tree): female and male figures, family amulets, a bird, the sun, and a horse.
3) Artistic processing of wool using wool painting techniques or wool painting (animal painting, landscape, still life, etc.); Wet and dry felting of accessories (brooch/pendant, treat bag, etc.)
4) Botanical plaster bas-relief – a technique used to create decorative wall panels, candlesticks, or table decorations imprinted with herbs, plants, flowers, berries, and other gifts of nature.
Welcome to the craft workshop – a space for relaxation and creativity for adults and children!
