1. Arts and crafts

At the beginning of our work, we decided to study literature on the topic: “Decorative and applied arts of the Mari people.”

Arts and crafts- a section of decorative art, covering the creation of artistic products that meet the everyday needs of a person. By creating things of a certain shape and purpose, a person always finds a use for them and tries to preserve the attractiveness and beauty seen in them. Objects of art are inherited, from ancestors to descendants. They show folk wisdom, way of life, character.

Decorative and applied art is one of the most ancient. Man has long tried to decorate his home and did it with the help of the material that was at hand - wood, clay, bone, etc. Folk decorative and applied art is not only the fruit of skill and craft, but also an integral part of life and everyday life. It is important not only to feel, but also to create something beautiful.

1. Main part

We conducted a survey of residents of the villages of Maly Koramas, Chavainur, Shereganovo, Veshurgi-Morkinsky district. We interviewed 7 village residents of different ages, and also members of the “Muro Sem” ensemble.

According to the survey results, it turned out that in the area there are widespreadartistic wood carving and production of ancient musical instruments.

1. Folk craftsmen of the past

Echeykin Pyotr Pavlovich-famous bagpiper of the republic. Born and lived in the village of Shereganovo. Pyotr Pavlovich not only played the bagpipes masterfully, but also made them himself. Not a single wedding took place without his bagpipes and drums.

In 2000 the ensemble"Muro sem" under his leadership, a qualifying competition was held in the Finno-Ugric group and represented our republic at the International Silk Road Festival. They visited Germany France Holland Belgium Finland. The ensemble always performed in the second part of the concert program and surprised the audience with the unusual sound of folk musical instruments and folk dances. No one remained indifferent to the culture of the Mari people.

Echeikin Vyacheslav Petrovich, son of Pyotr Pavlovich Echeikin, was a musically gifted child. From the age of three, Slava was a participant in the concert program, playing the pipe, drum, harmonica, and later the bagpipes. Traveled with my father different countries. Having matured, he continued his father’s work and learned the nuances of making folk instruments.

Ivanov Grigory Ivanovich(Vasliy Ivan Kyrgori) was born in the village of Maly Koramas. He volunteered for the war, leaving his family and two children. He was distinguished by his courage in battle. At the end of the war he was captured and ended up in a concentration camp. He endured all the horrors of captivity, hunger and cold and survived. The Germans considered him dead and threw his body into a ravine behind barbed wire. The German woman saved him, hid him and fed him. So Grigory Ivanovich remained alive.

He was lucky to return to his homeland. After the war he worked as a teacher in a village school. He learned carpentry from his grandfather before the war. Grigory Ivanovich decorated simple peasant furniture and household items with carvings. The main attention was paid to the decor of the platbands, pediment and facade of the hut. The remaining parts of the building were usually not covered with carvings. So he became a skilled carver.

A new method of wood processing contributed to the manifestation of talent. He carefully used the set of tools he inherited and got new ones. Grigory Ivanovich decorated with carvings not only the window frames, the main decoration of the house, but also the cornices, balusters, and valances. Later he decorated the porch and gate with wooden carvings.

No one in the village had a house decorated with carvings. Orders poured in for this master woodcarver. Unfortunately, the patterns on houses made by him have not survived. But in his native village, his instruments still serve a good cause.

Famous wood craftsmanVasiliev Anatoly Alexandrovich(Matran Tolya) from the village of Chavainur. He was born into a simple peasant family. His father did not return from the war and he had to do hard physical work from a small age. He taught himself carpentry. At the request of the residents, he made household utensils: a butter churn, rocker arms, tubs, barrels, without which the residents could not live a single day, as well as sleighs and sleds, window frames, and barns.

He did not leave aside the folk musical instrument - the tumyr. Everyone in the area used only his drum and still does. A simple, modest man worked all his life, pleased and surprised his fellow villagers with his skill. After the war, Anatoly Alexandrovich built a house with his own hands and decorated it with carved patterns. The house of unusual beauty still stands in the village of Chavainur, attracting the views of visiting guests.

1. Current masters

Nowadays, national musical instruments are almost never used in everyday life, but they can be seen and heard at folklore holidays, festivals, and concerts. The oldest folk craftsmen, alas, are also not with us, but a new generation is growing that continues their work.

Among the master pipers of the new generation, a special place is occupied by the actor of the Mari National Drama Theater named after M. Shketana, Sergey Danilov . After graduating from the Higher Theater School. M.S. Shchepkina, he returns to the theater stage.

In 2016, young actors were entrusted with playing new production performance "Salika", where bagpipes must be an indispensable attribute. By this time there were almost no master bagpipers left. The young actor had to meet with the oldest master Echan Malinin from the village of Kozhlaer. First, the master taught him to play the bagpipes, and then his craft.

Being a man of an inquisitive nature, Sergei thoroughly studied the structure of ancient musical instruments and began making them himself. He was so carried away that he even created a bagpipe ensemble from the actors of the troupe on the basis of the theater. With his ensemble, which consisted of three Morkin guys, Sergei traveled to Slovakia, where he represented our republic at the World Guide Festival.

Craftsmen live and work in different parts of the region. A wood craftsman does his favorite thingStepanov Oleg Gennadievich. With his hard work and perseverance he achieved his goal. The house in the center of the village stands out for its originality and beauty.

Wood carving is considered the most common type of folk art. She is close to him. The craftsman mainly uses linden to make patterns, as it is easy to carve. The abundance of linden trees in this region contributes to the development of the craft.

But he also experiments with other materials. In the house, in the yard, in the garden, the works of his creativity and his skillful hands are visible everywhere.

In addition, he is engaged in weaving from bast and wicker, which have deep roots. At the request of residents of surrounding villages, he weaves baskets and bast shoes for guests.

Vladimir Petrovich was born in the village of Novoglebovka Saratov region. The family moved in 1973 to the village of Verkhnesolenny, Veselovsky district, Rostov region, where he graduated from high school in 1987. After graduating from school, he entered driving courses. From 1988 to 1990 he served in the ranks of the Soviet Army in tank forces. After the army, he worked as a driver on the Lenin collective farm in the Veselovsky district. He was in a car accident where he suffered a severe spinal injury. Being in wheelchair built a house, a carpentry shop, was engaged in the manufacture of windows and doors, chairs, etc.

Since 2011, he began to engage in wood carving. Vladimir Petrovich makes boxes and cups. For carving he uses wood: poplar, linden, walnut. His works are decorated with certain compositions by wedge-shaped recesses, which vary in size, depth, and angle geometry. His products have a large number of edges; their execution requires greater skill. He also makes frames for icons. Icons are embroidered with beads. To produce his works, he comes up with geometric sketches himself, and uses video and photo materials using the Internet.

His works have a huge impact on the continuity and development of folk traditions. The activity of the master plays a major role in the revival of crafts. Vladimir Petrovich has a short period of time in the craft, but thanks to his ability to self-educate, hard work, interest in the cultural heritage of the country, his works can compete with eminent masters and his works arouse great interest not only among residents of Verkhnesolenovsky rural settlement, but also residents of the Veselovsky district.

2. Paper plastic art is very similar to sculpture in terms of creativity. But, in paper plastic, all products inside are empty, all products are shells of the depicted object. And in sculpture, either the volume is increased with additional elements, or the excess is removed (cut off).
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/462

3. Corrugated tubes - this is the name of a technique for making products in which tubes of corrugated paper are used to decorate surfaces or to create three-dimensional figures. Corrugated tubes are obtained by winding a strip of paper onto a stick, pencil or knitting needle and then compressing it. The compressed corrugated tube holds its shape well and has many options for design and use.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1492

4. Quilling (from the English quilling - from the word quil “bird feather”) - the art of paper rolling. Originated in medieval Europe, where nuns created medallions by twisting the end bird feather paper strips with gilded edges, which created an imitation of a gold miniature.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/587

4. Origami (from Japanese letters: “folded paper”) - ancient art folding paper figures. The art of origami has its roots in ancient China, where paper was discovered.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/560
Kinds:
- Kirigami is a type of origami that allows the use of scissors and cutting paper in the process of making the model. This is the main difference between kirigami and other paper folding techniques, which is emphasized in the name: kiru - cut, kami - paper.
Pop-up is a whole direction in art. This technique combines elements of techniques.
- Kirigami and Cutting and allows you to create three-dimensional designs and cards folded into a flat figure.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1723
- Kusudama (literally “medicine ball” in Japanese) is a paper model that is usually (but not always) formed by sewing together the ends of many identical pyramidal modules (usually stylized flowers folded from a square sheet of paper), so that the body is spherical forms. Alternatively, the individual components can be glued together (for example, the kusudama in the bottom photo is completely glued rather than sewn). Sometimes, as a decoration, a tassel is attached to the bottom.
The art of kusudama comes from ancient Japanese tradition, when kusudama was used for incense and a mixture of dry petals; perhaps these were the first real bouquets of flowers or herbs. The word itself is a combination of two Japanese words, kusuri (medicine) and tama (ball). Nowadays, kusudama are usually used for decoration or as gifts.
Kusudama is an important part of origami, particularly as a precursor to modular origami. It is often confused with modular origami, which is incorrect, since the elements that make up kusudama are sewn or glued, and not nested inside each other, as modular origami suggests.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/850
- Origami from circles - folding origami from a paper circle. Usually the folded pieces are then glued together into an applique.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1636
- Modular origami - the creation of three-dimensional figures from triangular origami modules - was invented in China. The whole figure is assembled from many identical parts (modules). Each module is folded according to the rules of classic origami from one sheet of paper, and then the modules are connected by inserting them into each other. The friction force that appears in this case prevents the structure from falling apart.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/15

5. Papier-mâché (fr. papier-mâché “chewed paper”) - an easily moldable mass obtained from a mixture of fibrous materials (paper, cardboard) with adhesives, starch, gypsum, etc. Plasters are made from papier-mâché , masks, teaching aids, toys, theatrical props, boxes. In some cases, even furniture.
In Fedoskino, Palekh, Kholui, papier-mâché is used to make the basis for traditional lacquer miniatures.
You can decorate a papier-mâché blank not only with paints, painting like famous artists, but using decoupage or assemblage.

7. Embossing (another name is “embossing”) - mechanical extrusion that creates images on paper, cardboard, polymer material or plastic, foil, on parchment (the technique is called “parchment”, see below), as well as on leather or birch bark, in which a relief image of a convex or concave stamp is obtained on the material itself, with or without heating, sometimes with the additional use of foil and paint. Embossing is carried out mainly on binding covers, postcards, invitation cards, labels, soft packaging, etc.
This type of work can be determined by many factors: force, texture and thickness of the material, the direction of its cutting, layout and other factors.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1626
Kinds:
- Parchment - parchment paper (thick waxed tracing paper) is processed with an embossing tool and during processing it becomes convex and turns white. This technique makes interesting postcards, and this technique can also be used to design a scrapbook page.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1705
- Texturing - applying an image using a cliché onto a smooth material, usually metallized paper, in order to imitate foil stamping. Also used to imitate the skin of certain breeds (for example, a cliché with a pattern imitating crocodile skin, etc.)

Optical mixing of three primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and pairs of additional colors (red - green, blue - orange, yellow - violet) gives significantly greater brightness than a mechanical mixture of pigments. Mixing of colors to form shades occurs at the stage of perception of the picture by the viewer from a long distance or in a reduced view.

14. Painting. One of the most ancient types of folk crafts, which for several centuries have been an integral part of everyday life and the original culture of the people. In Russian folk art there are a large number of varieties of this type of decorative and applied art.
Here are some of them:
- Zhostovo painting is an ancient Russian folk craft that arose in early XIX century, in the village of Zhostovo, Mytishchi district, Moscow region.

2. Patchwork, Quilt, Quilting or Patchwork is a folk arts and crafts art with centuries-old traditions and stylistic features. This is a technique that uses pieces of colorful fabrics or knitted elements in geometric shapes to join together in a blanket, blouse or bag.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1347
Kinds:
- Artichoke is a type of patchwork that got its name because of its resemblance to artichoke fruits. This technique has other names - “teeth”, “corners”, “scales”, “feathers”.
By and large, in this technique it all comes down to folding the cut out parts and sewing them onto the base in a certain sequence. Or, using paper, create (pasting) various panels of a round (or multifaceted) shape on a plane or in volume.
You can sew in two ways: direct the edge of the blanks to the center of the main part, or to its edges. This is if you sew a flat product. For products of a volumetric nature - with the tip towards the narrower part. The folded parts are not necessarily cut in the shape of squares. These can be rectangles or circles. In any case, we encounter the folding of cut-out blanks, therefore, it can be argued that these patchwork techniques belong to the family of patchwork origami, and since they create volume, then, therefore, to the “3d” technique.
Example: http://stranamasterov.ru/node/137446?tid=1419
- Crazy quilt. I recently came across this type. In my opinion, this is a multi-method.
The bottom line is that the product is created from a combination of various techniques: patchwork + embroidery + painting, etc.
Example:

3. Tsumami Kanzashi. The Tsumami technique is based on origami. Only they fold not paper, but squares of natural silk. The word "Tsumami" means "to pinch": the artist takes a piece of folded silk using tweezers or tweezers. The petals of future flowers are then glued onto the base.
The hairpin (kanzashi), decorated with a silk flower, gave its name to a whole new type of decorative and applied art. This technique was used to make decorations for combs and individual sticks, as well as for complex structures made up of various accessories.

* Techniques related to knitting:
What is knitting? This is the process of making products from continuous threads by bending them into loops and connecting the loops to each other using simple tools by hand (a crochet hook, knitting needles).
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/729

1. Knitting on a fork. An interesting way of crocheting using a special device - a fork curved in the shape of the letter U. The result is light, airy patterns.
2. Crochet (tambour) - the process of manually making fabric or lace from threads using a crochet hook. creating not only dense, relief patterns, but also thin, openwork, reminiscent of lace fabric. Knitting patterns consist of different combinations of loops and stitches. The correct ratio is that the thickness of the hook should be almost twice the thickness of the thread.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/858
3. Simple (European) knitting allows you to combine several types of loops, which creates simple and complex openwork patterns.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1157

Galaburda Lyubov Ivanovna

Lyubov Ivanovna was born in the village. Priuralskoe in 1957. Since childhood, she loved to draw, but her development creative personality happened at an older age. Having moved to Odessa, Lyubov Ivanovna became close to artists and began taking lessons from them. At the same time, she graduated from design courses, and then from the art and graphic department of the Odessa Pedagogical Institute and began working in her specialty. Her graduation work, “The Tree of Life,” was made using the macrame technique.

“Izhma Clothing 17-19 centuries”, “Family of a Reindeer Herder”, “Bride and Groom”, “Ancient Komi Hunters” - these were the names of the works that participated in the first exhibitions. These are no longer individual dolls, but entire scenes from the mythology of the Komi people.

Today about L.I. Galaburd is known not only in Pechora, but also in other cities of the Komi Republic and even abroad. In 1997, her dolls visited Finland at an exhibition of Finno-Ugric peoples.

Since 1989, Lyubov Ivanovna has been a member of the city association of artists and craftsmen of Pechora.

In February 2000, L.I. Galaburda passed an important maturity exam - at a traditional exhibition in Syktyvkar she was accepted into the Union of Masters of the Komi Republic. But, according to Lyubov Ivanovna, there is still a lot of work ahead to implement new plans and ideas.

Life circumstances forced Lyubov Ivanovna to come to Komi land in 1991. Here she becomes a famous doll maker.

The Museum of History and Local Lore became interested in the works of Lyubov Ivanovna and placed an order for her to make dolls in folk costumes.

The wooden base of the doll, face, clothes, and all other details are made by the craftswoman herself and her assistants from the school group “Skillful Hands”. L.I. Galaburda and the children began to make such dolls to order.

They turned out bright, expressive, and soon there were so many of them that they were enough for an entire exhibition.

In 1996, her first personal exhibition took place in the city of Syktyvkar. Creative works were highly rated by experts. Lyubov Ivanovna was awarded a diploma “For the development of the traditions of the Komi people.”

At exhibitions of applied arts in the museum, L.I. Galaburd’s dolls can be immediately distinguished from all others, because each of them is a real work of art. To make such a doll requires a lot of time and a variety of materials. The craftswoman works with wood, birch bark, fabric, paper, leather, fur, suede and beads. Dolls are made according to descriptions from ethnographic sources.

Evtyunin Mikhail Viktorovich

Mikhail Viktorovich Evtyunin was born on September 8, 1950 in the city of Nebit-Dag, Turkmen SSR, into the family of a military man.

The officer family often changed garrisons, and Misha went to first grade in the Lithuanian city of Panevezys. He studied in Kėdainiai, Siauliai, and graduated from school in Poland in 1968.

The father, a third generation officer, dreamed of a military career for his son, but life decreed otherwise: Mikhail entered the Riga Institute of Engineers civil aviation. During his years of study at the institute (1968-1979), he managed to serve two years in the tank forces and work for a year as a toolmaker at a factory in Ryazan.

As a student in the construction team, Mikhail visited Norilsk and Dudinka. The north attracted me with its romance and harsh beauty, and after being assigned, the young specialist firmly decided to go only to the north. In 1979, Mikhail was hired as an electrical engineer at the Pechora Aviation Enterprise.

In Pechora in those years, the Arktos tourist club was extremely popular. Tourists made hikes to the Ural Mountains and the Carpathians, explored Karelia, and conquered the mountain rivers of the Caucasus and Altai. In memory of each campaign, Mikhail brought stones: agate, jade, crystal. In 1985, his collection was replenished with red jasper. Then the idea of ​​stone processing came. This stone, which has become a work of art, is kept in the collection of Mikhail Viktorovich.

The first artistic products: beads and cabachon. Then earrings, pendants, bracelets, beads again, candlesticks. In his works, the master uses californite, charoite, crystal, jade, and rhodochrosite. But the most favorite of the stones is agate. The best works are made from it. Mikhail Viktorovich studied literature on stone processing techniques, and designed some machines himself.

In the early 90s of the twentieth century, the airline decided to organize a workshop for non-core services and offered to head it to M.V. Evtyunin. Subsequently, the workshop turned into a stone-cutting workshop, and Mikhail Viktorovich’s hobby became his job. True, I had to engage in creativity in my free time from administrative affairs.

The fame of the Pechora master crossed the borders of the city and the republic. In 1986, his works were exhibited at the Inta Museum. In 1994-1995 M.V. Evtyunin was invited to an exhibition in the capital of stone cutting - Yekaterinburg, where craftsmen from all over came former Union SSR.

In 1995, Mikhail Viktorovich took part in the republican exhibition in Syktyvkar. Several times his works were exhibited and successfully sold in the VDNKh pavilion at the Gemma fair of colored stones. Since 1996 M.V. Evtyunin works at the depot. Free time gives to what he loves.

Ivanov Boris Borisovich

Born in the Vladimir region in 1944. As a three-year-old child, his parents brought him to Pechora, and since then he has lived and worked in this city.

Boris Borisovich's ability and love for drawing is hereditary; his parents were good at drawing. Mother was a great needlewoman: she embroidered a lot and well, and the whole house was decorated with her hands.

Creativity B.B. Ivanova is a rare combination of several directions: painting, graphics, applied art.

His first lessons in painting were taught to him by repressed artists who were serving their sentences in Pechora. I especially remember A.A. Vasiliev, he was able to see and develop artistic abilities in a nine-year-old boy.

Maybe that’s why Boris Borisovich is engaged in an in-depth study of the history of political repressions in the Pechora region. He is a member of the Memorial Society. His articles on the history of the Gulag were published in the Pechora Time newspaper. The martyrology “Repentance” contains it graphic drawing“Killed, lit.”

At the beginning of his creative life he was engaged in painting and graphics. He especially likes to paint landscapes. “Man and nature,” according to B. Ivanov, “are a single environment; they cannot exist without each other.” That's why he likes working with wood, whatever wood is available at the moment.

Boris Borisovich is one of the masters involved in metal work and metal forging. In his works he strives to recreate the forgotten traditions of finishing woodwork with forged metal. Engage to the fullest artistic treatment metal production is difficult, since this requires special workshops and equipment, which are not available in Pechora. Creating arts and crafts requires a lot of time

The works of Boris Borisovich are exquisite, they are distinguished by impeccable taste, subtlety, complex technology execution. For example, a candlestick made based on the mythology of the Komi-Zyryans consists of 100 elements, each of which had to be brought to perfection. His work is highly professional.

The artist has no free time, he is always busy, so there are no students. “Teaching ties the master’s hands, because there will be no time to work for himself,” says B.B. Ivanov. This was the reason for refusing the proposal of the cultural department to create and head a school of masters.

Boris Borisovich is a regular participant in art exhibitions of the Pechora Museum of History and Local Lore, and republican exhibitions of folk art. In 2000, he was admitted to the Union of Masters of the Komi Republic.

Izyumov Yuri Alexandrovich

“There is beauty, it must be found, created and shown to others,” is the creative credo of the master Yuri Aleksandrovich Izyumov.

Izyumov Yuri Aleksandrovich was born on May 30, 1944 in the village of Vodny, Ukhtinsky district. His father, a teacher and Komsomol activist, was repressed in the pre-war years and imprisoned in the Ukhta camps: he doubted out loud about the too rapid pace of building socialism. His mother soon arrived after him. So the family remained in the Ukhta region. In 1963, after graduating from high school, Yuri was drafted into the army. He came to Pechora on a Komsomol ticket in 1966. For more than 20 years he worked at ATP UNGG as a truck driver, and then in auto repair shops he soldered, tinned, and riveted.

The ability to draw manifested itself during his school years. Even then he surprised with sketches of portraits famous writers and poets. Since childhood, I loved wood, its smell, its warmth. Once I noticed that a work comrade was engaged in wood carving. I wanted to try it myself. He showed him the first simple techniques and gave him a tool - a fragment of a medical scalpel, securely inserted into a homemade wooden handle. Yu. Izyumov began making his carved items with this tool. I learned wisdom from books and learned everything on my own. Favorite tree - aspen and birch growth - cap.

Since 1991 Yu.A. Izyumov is a master-mentor of the Shondiban arts and crafts studio, opened at the culture department of the Pechora City Executive Committee. Yuri Alexandrovich sought to pass on his secrets to talented, responsive schoolchildren and adults. I wanted to get acquainted with the experience of the capital’s woodcarvers, visit republican and all-Russian exhibitions, and museums of applied art. I visited the workshop of the Syktyvkar sculptor V. Rokhin, at a republican seminar, and at an exhibition in Vologda.

It is unknown what fate would have done with the master’s talent if he had not been around true friend, the persistent wife of Lydia Vladimirovna, who herself took the first works to the museum. My wife helped and supported me in difficult times and advised me.

The ability to draw was passed on to his daughter. She gives her paintings to friends in St. Petersburg and her parents.

Yuri Alexandrovich loved to create to music. I listened with pleasure to songs performed by I. Talkov, V. Vysotsky, N. Kadysheva. Favorite singer - A. Pugacheva. I was fascinated by historical novels. Since childhood, I loved all animals, especially dogs. Many who knew Yuri Alexandrovich note that he was kind by nature, some kind of light emanated from him.

Over a decade and a half of creative activity, the master created more than 200 products. Yu.A. Izyumov is a member of the Union of Masters of the Komi Republic since 1993. Work of Izyumov Yu.A. awarded with certificates of honor from the Ministry of Culture of the Komi ASSR, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Kazakhstan and diplomas for his contribution to the development of folk art.

The entire apartment of the Izyumovs is lovingly decorated by the skillful hands of Yuri Alexandrovich. There is so much to be found on lace wooden shelves.

The interior of the kitchen is a fairy tale made of wood, the dream of any housewife who is partial to beauty. Cabinets, chests, boxes - everything is decorated with carvings, the kitchen itself is like a magic chest from a fairy tale.

Products by Yu.A. Izyumov were exhibited at exhibitions in Riga, St. Petersburg, Petrozavodsk, Moscow, Syktyvkar, Pechora. The Pechora Museum of History and Local Lore purchased ten items from an applied craftsman. The Norwegians took two products back to their homeland. In the spring of 1993, an invitation came to an exhibition-fair in America, but it was not possible to make this trip. 30 works were exhibited at the Ethnographic Museum of St. Petersburg. After the exhibition, the master began to receive offers from commercial structures, but Yu. Izyumov felt in his soul that putting wooden carvings into production meant taking the soul out of it. And instead of joy, you will get cheap souvenirs of those that are neither in your mind nor in your heart. The master gave his products only to those whom he respected and placed in reliable hands. He didn’t try to sell them, he even refused to purchase items for the Golden Fund of the Folk Art Museum.

Participation in exhibitions:

Since 1985, Yu. A. Izyumov’s products have been constantly exhibited in the Pechora Museum of History and Local Lore.

Andrey’s passion for minerals began with a meeting with Mikhail Evtyunin, around whom a team of guys passionate about stone processing gathered. The stone, according to Andrey, attracts him and fascinates him with its unique colors, patterns and play of light.

Through the joint efforts of passionate stone cutters, a workshop was set up in the basement. It housed equipment, partly purchased, but mostly made by hand. Minerals are also stored here, for which craftsmen sometimes go to the mountains. These are rock crystal, jasper, amazonite, agate, quartz and others.

Morozov Vladimir Nikolaevich

Born in the northern Russian city of Kargopol, Arkhangelsk region, in 1927 in the family of an employee. My father worked as an accountant, my mother was a housewife.

In 1932, my father went to Syktyvkar to organize a society for the deaf and dumb. The whole family moved to Syktyvkar with their father: his wife and three children. Vladimir Nikolaevich lived in Syktyvkar until 1944. It was difficult to live in a semi-basement. In the spring, the apartment was flooded knee-deep with water. The mother was forced to go to work: during the day she worked in the police, in the evenings she taught in educational programs, and at night she stood in lines for bread. My mother passed away early from work and illness.

Vladimir graduated from the FZO school in Syktyvkar as a boat mechanic, worked as an assistant foreman, and in 1942 became a foreman.

In 1944, he volunteered to go to the front, but did not have to fight. He was sent to study at the School of Junior Commanders at the Obozerskaya station in the Arkhangelsk region, where he fell ill and was demobilized in 1946. In the same year he leaves for Kherson for treatment and work. After Kherson, fate brought me to Stalino, to Dneprodzerzhinsk. In Stalino he mastered the profession of modeller.

Vladimir Nikolaevich lived in the southern regions of the country for more than ten years, and in 1957 he came to his sister in Kozhva. I didn’t know or hear anything about the new city of Pechora before. At this time, the construction of the River Workers' House of Culture (DCR) was underway in Pechora. Having learned that Vladimir Nikolaevich was a modeler, he was hired as an instructor. He gave students six people whom he taught their modeling skills. We built the DKR and studied at the same time.

After DKR, stucco work was carried out in the cinema named after. M. Gorky. Here in the cinema there are also two of his original sculptural works - “Miner” and “Hunter”.

It was necessary to decorate simple residential buildings with stucco work (for example, two houses on Gorky Square): cornices, rosettes. In 1962-1963, modeling was stopped in houses.

A team of sculptors led by V.N. Morozova was popular in the Komi Republic: they went to work on the construction of the House of Culture in Vorkuta and the railway station in Syktyvkar.

While working in Pechorstroy, he graduated in absentia from the Volkhov Construction College with honors and became a foreman at a reinforced concrete products factory. At the plant, a lot of design work was done by his hands: a concrete bas-relief of Lenin, the Pechorstroy Board of Honor, wall ornamentation, panels. I also had to paint picturesque portraits for the Honor Board. There was especially a lot of work before the holidays - designing posters.

Orders were also received for other design work. They opened a camp site on Byzovaya.

Since 1983 V.N. Morozov is retired. Started cutting wood. I especially like working with the burl. He is interested in working with different materials. His collection includes many vases made of openwork metal, a wine horn, and various boxes.

Osipova (Ogorodnikova) Oksana Valentinovna

The Pechora craftswomen mother and daughter Ogorodnikov are known not only in the Komi Republic, but also beyond its borders. They are connected not only by family ties, but also by creative ones. Galina Yakovlevna Ogorodnikova was born in 1947 in the village of Soski, Kirov region. Father Yakov Ivanovich Saadakov worked all his life at the Selmash plant. He was a carpenter, did carpentry, and made furniture. Mom Nina Mitrofanovna, the station duty officer, skillfully crocheted. Galina Yakovlevna was greatly influenced by her grandmother Maria Efimovna, who knew how to weave, spin, knit, sew, and embroider.

Galina Yakovlevna came to Pechora with her husband in 1963. I sewed and knitted all the time for my children.

In the mid-80s, many Pechora women became interested in weaving using the macrame technique; Galina Yakovlevna achieved perfection in this form of applied art. The first work is “Poodle”. At first I copied products from magazines and calendars, and then began to create my own original works. In 1991 she released her photo album “Macrame”, her products were used in the decoration of preschool institutions in the city “Korablik”, “Yolochka”. Narrative panels made by Galina Yakovlevna create a unique look for the interior of kindergartens.

Since 1984, Galina Yakovlevna has been a member of the city association of artists, art expert council, and in 1985 headed the association of artists. In 1988 she participated in the folk art festival in Syktyvkar.

Galina Yakovlevna is a master of applied arts and masters many types of creativity: weaving using the macrame technique, tatting, knitting, crocheting, wood carving.

Galina Yakovlevna considers master Yu.A. to be her teacher. Izyumov, who managed to pass on his secrets to his student. She does not disdain either rough “procurement” work or the search for material. Works with birch and aspen. In the late 80s she worked at the Elegant cooperative. In 1990 she led a macrame class, and in 1991-1992 she taught at the Shondiban studio.

Her daughter, Oksana Valentinovna Osipova, followed in her mother’s footsteps. Born in 1969 in Pechora. Since childhood, her parents noticed the girl’s ability to draw. For several years, Oksana studied in the art studio of the House of Pioneers under the guidance of A. Akishin.

Entered vocational school No. 22 in Syktyvkar for the specialty “master” artistic painting" In 1989 she graduated from college. Graduate work Oksana: original jewelry that successfully combines wood painting and macrame. It was a joint product between mother and daughter.

32 folk craftsmen of the Belgorod region were awarded a certificate, badge and monetary incentive

The certificate and sign “People's Master of the Belgorod Region” were awarded to 13 masters of arts and crafts who received the honorary title for the first time, and 19 who confirmed this title in 2012. On March 13, the Belgorod State Folk Art Center was crowded. IN exhibition hall, where the best works of folk craftsmen were exhibited, guests carefully studied the talented works of folk craftsmen - patchwork panels, wooden products, painted metal trays, beadwork, clay and textile toys, cross-stitched ancient towels, etc. And the folk craftsmen, as if before the presentation of an international award, anxiously awaited the award ceremony and gave interviews to the local press. A few minutes later on the stage, where the buffoons and spoon players of the instrumental group “Veselinka” created a Russian folk mood for the audience, the folk masters were awarded by the deputy head of the department of internal and personnel policy of the region - the head of the regional department of culture, Sergei Ivanovich Kurgansky, who presented them with certificates, badges and monetary incentives .

Lydia Darenskaya, a master of arts and crafts in embroidery from the city of Shebekino, spent 17 years working toward the title of “People’s Master of the Belgorod Region.” “I’m a musician by profession, and needlework is my hobby,” says the craftswoman. Lidiya Vasilievna embroiders with cross stitch and satin stitch, makes a soft toy and appliqué from fabric. The craftswoman brought nine embroidered towels to the exhibition - almost all the canvases she had been working on for several years: Russian, Ukrainian towels, dezhniki. “It is very difficult to embroider a towel,” shares the needlewoman. - This craft is very rare and almost forgotten in our time. Several years ago, in my area, I met the folklore collector Galina Grezneva and found in her my mentor in creativity. She taught me folk art - towel embroidery.” A wise fellow countrywoman suggested to her the choice of ornament for her products. “When choosing ornaments, patterns, drawings for a towel, the master always wants to convey something, to wish people. Embroidered flowers symbolize happiness, the crown - the sun, oak leaves - life, greatness,” Lidia Vasilievna shows us the wedding towel.

Tatyana Fesina from the city of Grayvoron, a former tower crane operator, masters a craft that is very rare these days. Tatyana Nikolaevna weaves belts on a reed, on hooks or planks, woven on fingers and a needle, “in a bottle”, using the scolding method or on a spool. The craftswoman achieves a huge variety in the decoration of belts, successfully selects the colors of threads and patterns for the belts and weaves them for folk groups of the Grayvoronsky district.

Weaving a pattern on a loom is a very difficult task, requiring, first of all, the availability of a tool and a place to place it. “To pull the threads back, I use special boards - takers. That’s why this weaving is called “worn,” Tatyana Nikolaevna tells us about the features of the ancient craft. - Belts used to be woven as a dowry for the bride. And since ancient times, belts have been a mandatory element of men's and women's costumes. Without a belt, like without a cross, it was impossible to walk around the village.”

… Today in the region there are already 75 masters who bear the honorary title. Folk craftsmen are forever inscribed in the history of the Belgorod region; they do a good deed - they revive and preserve the traditional folk culture of the region.

Let us remind you that the title “People’s Master of the Belgorod Region” was established in 2008 by the Government of the Belgorod Region. Today there are more than 2,000 craftsmen in the region, most of whom are amateurs.

The exhibition “People's Master of the Belgorod Region” will be exhibited in the exhibition hall of the Belgorod State Folk Art Center (Shirokaya St., 1).

This year, 13 masters from the Belgorod region were awarded this honorary title. Among the awarded was the master of the Novooskol House of Crafts, Yana Vladimirovna Rybakova.

Certificates, badges and cash prizes were presented to the masters of arts and crafts by the Deputy Head of the Department of Internal and Personnel Policy - Head of the Culture Department of the Belgorod Region Sergei Ivanovich Kurgansky.

The award ceremony was preceded by an exhibition of works by the nominated masters, displayed in the exhibition hall of the Belarusian State Center for Science and Technology. Excellent works done in various techniques aroused the sincere admiration of visitors. Painting and wood carving, various embroidery, wicker weaving, bead weaving, bobbin weaving, products made from straw, birch bark, rag dolls, patchwork technique- each product is a real work of art and, indeed, the work of real Masters.

Yana Vladimirovna was given a great creative gift. She loved to draw since childhood. And I constantly studied, improving my professional level. She successfully graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Novooskol Children's Art School (class of teacher L.G. Kozmenko), then from the Alekseevsk Pedagogical College with a degree in “Teacher of Fine Arts and Drawing.” In 2007, already working at the House of Crafts, she entered the correspondence department of Belgorod State University.

Yana masters many genres of decorative and applied art (paper-plastic, silk painting, bead embroidery), but her favorite thing is wood painting.

The craftswoman works a lot in traditional Russian painting, including Khokhloma, Mezen, Severodvinsk, but she is also actively developing her own decorative painting. And these works are so amazing, made with such artistic taste, grace and skill that they simply captivated the professional jury. It was as a master of wood painting that Yana Rybakova was awarded the title “People’s Master of the Belgorod Region.”

We sincerely congratulate Yana Vladimirovna on this honorary title and wish her new creative success, talented students and inspiration.

Textile mosaic by Lyudmila Podgornaya is always functional

Lyudmila Nikolaevna Podgornaya, an expert in patchwork sewing, has been working in the Rakityansky district for a long time. Since childhood, she has been in contact with things made by the skillful hands of folk craftswomen. For many years, the Podgorny family carefully kept a patchwork quilt sewn by their great-grandmother. All this gradually formed in the master a sensitive, reverent attitude towards folk art, an understanding of its aesthetic canons. Having trained as a seamstress, she acquired the necessary skills to realize her creative ideas. Working at the House of Crafts gave her the opportunity to both create original works and pass on her knowledge to students.

Since 2000, Lyudmila Nikolaevna has actively participated in district and regional exhibitions and festivals with works that have always demonstrated her skill in creating a composition, in a harmonious coloristic solution, her careful attitude to folk traditions. In his work, the master uses not only the traditional Russian patchwork technique, but also works in modern “quilting,” which combines many artistic techniques of working with textiles. Interesting effects are created by the master using fabrics of different textures, for example, satin and chintz.

Textile mosaics by Lyudmila Podgornaya are always functional, her works are applicable in everyday life. These are blankets, bedspreads, curtains, tablecloths, napkins that can decorate any interior with their multicolored colors.

In 2012, Lyudmila Nikolaevna Podgornaya was awarded the title “People’s Master of the Belgorod Region” for talent, skill and pedagogical work. The secrets of the art of patchwork technique are learned from the master by her young students in the “Wonderful Moments” and “Handicraft” circles. By individual program Lyudmila Podgornaya teaches children from a correctional boarding school, and also conducts master classes for a wide range of people interested in folk crafts.

The master's lessons teach you to see and create the splendor of the objective world, to understand the relationship between beauty and benefit. These are also lessons of folk culture, gradually nurturing patriotism. This is the spirituality that arts and crafts gives birth to.
