Dive into the magic of ancient Russian ornament, discover the symbolism of traditional patterns, and create your own piece in the technique of brush painting. What unites generations and nations, transcends distances and times? The answer is culture. And its thin thread, weaving through centuries, is ornament. In honor of the Day of National Unity, the center "Zodchie" is holding a masterclass "Russian Traditional Ornament". Participants are in for a journey into the past. You will learn about the symbolism of ancient Russian patterns, discover where they came from, how they were passed down from generation to generation, and what significance they held. Then, there will be a practical part. Under the guidance of experienced master Irina Shlyakhova, head of the studios "Palette of Colors" and "Art-mix", you will create your own sketch of an ornament. You will paint with gouache on shaped cardboard - materials will be provided. Each participant will take home not only warm memories and new knowledge but also an ornament created by their own hands.
