Q: Painting on these Ceramics looks very detailed. Please tell us about the technique.
A: The technique
that is being used combines elements of traditional and contemporary art. The
original designs are inspired by traditional Russian schools of folk art such as
Zhestovo, Khohloma and Gzel, and tremendous variety of Russian fairy tales and
legends. Artists use a unique needle technique which allows you to feel all the
details and patterns of the painted surface.
The Process of creating consists of several stages, but
most important are the following:
All the pieces are made of a special type of clay which is soaked in a water for
three weeks and cleaned by hand.
After this process is over, the clay poured in original molds and stays there
for several days until water evaporates from it and the clay obtains the desired
shape.
Later, raw item is removed from the mold and painted with brushes and needles
using under glaze paint.
Next, the item is placed in the oven for as much as 1800 degrees. Afterwards, it
is removed from the kiln and painted with glaze so that it acquires a truly
unique appearance and then it is once more placed in the kiln for even a higher
temperature.
