Fedoskino
The village of Fedoskino, located 40 kilometers to the north from Moscow on the bank of river Ucha, is Russia's oldest center of lacquer miniature painting. The secrets of making and painting on papier-mache in Fedoskino have been passed from one generation to another for over 200 years now. Lacquer miniatures of Fedoskino are made with the help of multi-layer oil painting on the primed papier-mache surface with special lining. Most of the Fedoskino boxes have a black background on the outside and are covered inside with scarlet or bright-red lacquer.
