Khokhloma painting on wood is one of the most famous Russian folk art. The art of Khokhloma (Hoch-lo-MA) originated in the 17th century in the Volga-river region. The handmade crafts come from aspen and birch trees which are dried for at least 3 years. That is why the products are very light. Khokhloma painting (or Khokhloma) is characterized by painting various combinations of colors - red, black and gold. The painting is done by professional artists and the artists make use of delicate floral patterns, feathery leaves, twigs, cherries and strawberries. The motifs are based on combination of scarlet cinnabar and glittering gold against the black lacquer background. We are happy to bring this type of craft to Ukrainian-n-Things.
