Nesting Dolls
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2023 AT 5 PM – 7 PM
Join us for a special night of creating one of the oldest and most enjoyed treasures. The nesting doll was born in China during the Song Dynasty as long ago as 960AD – 1279 AD! It started with The Chinese crafting nesting boxes. They symbolized ingenuity and gradually evolved into dolls, the smallest of which could be as tiny as a nail! Although the nesting dolls are most commonly associated with Russia, they have a counterpart in Japanese culture. These are the wooden dolls known as kokeshi on which Anatoly Mamontov had based the original matryoshkas.
During this course you will receive your own set of hand carved set of 6 dolls that are yours to paint. We will have stencils to use if needed, but we invite all to use their creative minds to paint their own!
All supplies are included! Course is limited to 6 people!
