About

Clay toys from the Voronezh region look like a small encyclopedia of folk imagination. The Karachun tradition and bright lures show how local clay, craftsmanship, and fairy-tale plots become museum images. The exhibition features about a hundred works by five masters, each line here has its own character. The Karachun toy relies on plasticity and glazing: it is not covered with colorful painting. This craft is associated with the pottery culture of the village of Karachun, where working with clay was part of everyday life. Therefore, among the plots, images reminiscent of workshops, fairs, and monastic past appear. Voronezh lures sound different - bright, patterned, almost festive. They are made from local clay, leaving part of the surface open: after firing, it turns white and serves as a natural background for color. Therefore, the toys look fresh and a bit fantastic, although they rely on an old tradition. Among the characters are sirens, lions, larks, hoopoes, horsemen, noblewomen, and scenes of Christmas festivities. Here, the folk toy becomes a living language, where craftsmanship, humor, fairy tales, and the memory of the place coexist. We know what to see in St. Petersburg.
