Info Fedoskino

Fedoskino is the original center for the unique art form of Russian lacquer miniature painting. This village of approximately 2,500 inhabitants is just 24 miles north of Moscow. Today Fedoskino supports a thriving art industry that originated over two centuries ago. The original school and guild of Russian lacquer miniature painting was founded here in 1795. Today nearly three hundred artists and scores of highly skilled craftsmen support their families by producing the uniquely beautiful works of art we call Russian lacquer miniatures. The landscape surrounding the village of Fedoskino is rich with natural beauty to inspire artistic creativity. The velvet green of the pinewoods, the silvery birch copses, and the changing seasons reflected in the waters of the Ucha river - all find their way into the paintings of Fedoskino's lacquer miniature artists. Art Work of Fedoskino Artists are displayed in private collections and museums all over the World.
