Craft as a blessing
- • Irina is influenced by the Russian Orthodox tradition
- • Her work is owned by Orthodox priests across Europe
- • It takes her up to a month and a half to complete a piece
Irina Veselova always wanted to be an artisan. Yet it took her a few years to find the perfect medium. A graduate of the prestigious Abramtsevo Art Industrial College and Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design, she tried her hand at painting, glasswork, stained glass and ceramics, even spending a few years at a ceramics manufacturer in Novosibirsk, but the experience left her frustrated. "It was sad to see a fine detailed ornament turning into a rather faceless thing during the rapid production process," she remembers. She started working with beads by chance, when searching for an Easter present. A modest experiment with a decorative beaded Easter egg quickly evolved into a concept influenced by the Russian Orthodox cultural tradition.
