The secrets of painting in miniature

During this private tour you will watch artisans painting the classic Fedoskino items using signature techniques. The simplest brooch takes several hours to paint, while intricate miniatures or caskets may take more than two months to complete. This unique experience will enable you to see all stages of the process, including varnishing, polishing, drying, glazing and the application of highlighting – the delicate strokes of paint that give light and dark shades to the pattern. At the end of the tour you will see a display of more than 1,000 samples showcasing various signature techniques, and pay a visit the factory shop.
