Russian Nested Doll Painting Fun for the Whole Family

Traditional Russian artist and lecturer, Marina Forbes, will offer a unique workshop on the rich Russian folk tradition of Matryoshka (wooden nested doll) painting. The workshop is scheduled at my Studio in Rochester, NY,on Saturday, January 27 from 10am to 1pm and is open to adults and families with children 6 and up. It will be a great opportunity for families to work together and learn about Russian crafts and culture.

Students will hear the story of the Matryoshka doll and will learn about her traditional Russian dress and customs. Traditional Russian painting techniques and floral and berry designs are also introduced. The goal is to produce a finished piece of Russian folk art on wood. Students can work on 7-piece, 5-piece, 3-piece or 1-piece matryoshka sets. Throughout the workshop, students will be listening to traditional Russian music, and, during a brief break from the painting, there will be a demonstration of a few steps from a traditional Russian "matryoshka dance."

For more information or to pre-register, please contact Marina Forbes by phone at (603) 332-2255 or by e-mail at marina@anylanguage.org
