The club-studio of miniature “Doll’s House” was opened in the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve in early January. Its work was organized by professional artist-ceramist, People’s Artist of Russia Marina Vasilieva. Her author’s exhibition titled “Kind Dolls. Old Fairy Tales” where every article can be called unique is open in the Cook-house of the museum. There is a special tour “Doll’s Route”.
Marina Vasilieva has been delivering master-classes in pottery for many years. She has started to make movable terracotta dolls and puppets recently. Now visitors of the museum have a chance to act as real doll masters whose profession was full of mystery from time immemorial. Besides, they can attend theatricalized lectures with participation of puppets.
Lessons of Marina Vasilieva are conducted regularly both in the afternoon and in the evening. You can enroll for one of the master-classes in the Department of Visitor Relations. The number of people participating in one master-class can be different; it depends of the tourist’s choice. The “Doll’s House” can hold groups of not more than eight people. The master-class in pottery is delivered individually for everybody. It lasts 1,5 hour at most.
You can get to the master-class of Marina Vasilieva if you come to any large museum event. The “Doll’s House” is always open during folk festivals and fairs. Sometimes lessons are conducted in the open air. Children are especially interested in such a creation process as making of dolls or earthenware with their own hands. That’s why families often take part in the master classes.
You can enroll for the master-class by telephone: +7 (81757) 3-14-79.
