Hohloma ́ — the ancient Russian national craft which was born in a XVII-th century in district of Nizhni Novgorod.What is this type of art? Hohloma represents a decorative list of wooden plates and the furniture, executed black and red (and sometimes green) colour on a golden background. The silvery tin powder is put on wood at list performance not gold, but. After that the product becomes covered by special structure and three- or even four times is processed in the furnace, than the unique honey-golden colour giving to easy wooden ware effect of massiveness is reached.
Nowadays we have only two big centers where students can study how to make Hohloma. More than that Russian people have a lot of traditions of making it. And they keep it in secret.
