The format of the events was suggested by the exhibition "Albrecht Durer and his Era", which will open on March 1, 2022 in the branch of the State Museum of Fine Arts. The great artist knew well the main consumer of his products, who purchased engraved paintings from everyday life in medieval Germany at fairs. Creativity will be the main message of the spring Fair of craftsmen. Fans of folk traditions will master the technique of felting wool and learn the history and secrets of this activity. You can complete the outfit with another piece of jewelry — a beaded bracelet with a fringe — at another master class. Also, a master class on linocut technique will allow you to acquire design skills. Visitors to the exhibition "Albrecht Durer and his era" will have the opportunity not only to create their own stamp-engraving, but also to make an impression on various materials. The historical game library cannot be ignored either — here they will tell you about the traditions of Maslenitsa festivities in Russia and invite you to master the games that came to us from antiquity.
