Master from Cola received recognition at the All-Russian competition for kokoshniks in ancient technology

A resident of Kola Nikolai Komarov became the winner of the contest of folk culture “Russian Divo”. At the competition, he presented handmade jewelry made in a rare ancient technique of planting on white. This was reported in the administration of the Kola district.

Nikolai Komar creates crowns-kokoshniks and author's breast jewelry. For their manufacture uses volumetric embroidery with pearls and beads on the cord. This technique requires painstaking work and accuracy, and the products themselves combine complex execution with traditional Russian motifs.

The works of the northerner were highly appreciated by the jury for preserving folk traditions and following the classical canons of the craft.

The creative interests of the master are not limited to the manufacture of hats. He collects folk costumes in the Russian style, creates paintings from leather and dolls from polymer clay. In addition, Nikolai conducts visiting master classes around the Arctic, where he introduces residents to traditional crafts.

Earlier, MK in Murmansk reported that a nine-year-old pianist from Severomorsk became the winner of the Shostakovich International Competition.
