this is how some tourists call one of

the most traditional arts of our country. today we will learn how to revive the ancient technique of painting easter eggs boots. the grodno region has long been famous for its traditional art of painting easter eggs called sapozhkinskaya, described in 2014, the manufacturing technique was included in the state list of historical and cultural values ​​of the republic of belarus as an element of intangible cultural heritage and, moreover , claims to be included in a similar today, the folk craftsmen of sapozhkin town are diligently reviving the unesco list, preserving and passing on the secrets of the ancient tradition from generation to generation. about 1,700 exhibits

are presented in the pinky museum located in the sapozhkin cultural and tourist center. at the same time, the exposition included not only chicken, but painted goose ostriches and even quail eggs, the ancient technique of painting, eggs and simple and complex at the same time, if you do everything exactly according to the recipe of grandmothers or about grandmothers, then preparation for the holiday should be started before months this is how long it takes to prepare the dye, which will give the eggs a rich black color at the base of the rusty iron broth. kara oak or alder. first, the eggs are boiled, then a wax pattern is applied instead of a brush, sand is used, a wooden stick with a small carnation, when the egg is painted, it is dipped in dye for a day, then the wax is cleaned off with a cloth or a paper napkin, warming up the song on a candle flame , the spent wax is not thrown away. he again goes into business and eventually becomes completely

this black wax is used for painting on white eggs. some craftswomen work with colored wax, but the black and white ornament is still called the traditional songs from boots. the plot is also important. these are patterns in the form of flowers and the sun, light, spring. easter bird symbols, as well as oak and spruce twigs. the folk master of belarus antonina lukyanovna yurchenie will tell about how this technique is passed from generation to generation. antonina lukyanovna, good afternoon. hello , please tell me how in sopodskin the region has been preparing for easter since ancient times in order to prepare for easter it is necessary to prepare the paint , the paint is being made, the rabbit rabbits and rusty nails. there, the iron is poured with boiling water and infused for 2 months so that it turns black . well, then this paint merges.

and so we take the egg, boil it and paint the wax, it should be natural natural beeswax, when we painted the egg, we put it in this paint, well, you know, it ’s not taken immediately into the paint, so you need to keep it for a day for another day so that it turns black. here, so that she becomes such a black background, but wax, it is no longer visible here. that's about. here is such a wax not removed here. yes, when she painted well, then i take a boiling cibulnik. i put this egg in there, and it takes off the wax. and so, it turns out, you understand such an egg, if it is yellow, it means yellow flowers , if the egg is white, then little white flowers

, my mother wrote this way, and i continue her songs like this, that is, traditions were passed down from generation to generation and her mother wrote. and so it went for how many years? as these write if you touch the process? why choose black anyway? you understand that the black color is ours here, our sapotskin songs even took me to skil, and sapozhkin songs are written there in black and white , and already there are many. here they can draw in any way, there they make colored wax somehow, or maybe they are colored. you know, somehow i was not interested in our songs, how to differ, that they are white patterns on a black background. that's why this sopostynskaya song. and what is a draponka and how is it different, for example? here she is, you

know, there are such special ones on these eggs and she pulls out these patterns, scrapes off on this egg. yes, scrape some more. so i saw saw there they showed that they stick leaves. there are all sorts of pictures, yes, they put them in the paint, and then they take it out and take it off and look, there the egg is not not dark, but so greenish or blue and these leaves are marked on it by the master, basically he comes up with his own patterns or there are traditional ones come up with patterns , but there are many similar if i showed a master class, they adopted patterns from me. let them study. let them do it, because this is all for people, so that it can be seen that we are celebrating this holiday, this great holiday. they work at the largest

machine-building enterprises of belarus. i am over 55 and i am not shy of my age. i do not look at my age, but i try to work and benefit people, what is innovation in my eyes, a new technique was dictated by time. uh, move develop something new they stop at the place im it will not be difficult to talk about how the giants of agricultural machinery are created from scratch. when the components come to us , these are spars. some amplifiers and the assembly is yes, a very large adult

constructor. i think that the world lacks justice for a detailed conversation about the global and the innermost. there is an awareness that you are a member of society here. you can develop and realize yourself. any data about a person should be collected only to the extent necessary to achieve specific goal. that's when we talk about rallying. we must take into account the fact that this will affect everyone. i think it's short. it is rather an honor to be useful to the motherland and i want

to apply all my strength, mental moral quality to my professional life experience only for the benefit of my state. i really wanted to hear this , i really wanted to hear exactly this project markov nothing personal. watch the new releases on belarus 24 channel . using dots and strokes, experienced craftsmen can apply any ornament. each of they have their handwriting the right to make a mistake; the master does not have the wax hardens instantly, so the pattern. need to think in advance there is a secret. even in how to start painting, the first most often becomes the point from which

the strokes then lead, now you understand? why was it important to sit down in a good and calm mood, because bright thoughts help to tune in to such painstaking fine work in the pysanka museum you can see the main easter attributes, decorated with beads, ribbons, fluffy willow buds, marble eggs and even a sarnament and hundreds of holes drilled with a drill , exhibits depicting the faces of saints and temples, which were painted during lent, deserve special attention. and since ancient times, pysanka was considered a strong amulet of itself. the age -old painted egg in the museum is more than 20 years old about how traditions are preserved, we learn from the head of the saposkino cultural and tourist center anna chislavovna golutsova anna vyacheslavovna good afternoon, good today. are there many folk craftsmen in belarus who work in the pinky and i technique? i suppose that in the sapozhkinsky region there

are most of them. well, probably, because it is our painting that is included in the list of intangible cultural heritage. in belarus there are masters in other areas of our country. but nevertheless. why do we have more of them here? well, because, probably, this is passed down from generation to generation and already the oldest craftswomen that we have and this year are 90 years old. we even have a man who can draw, and his niece learned from him, and he learned from his uncle. that is, not only, so we painted women, as it was once said. and thursday and in the silence of peace, but even men, but in principle, for quite a long time we have opened in 2017 from now on. we have individual master classes. we taught a lot, even children and adults at the time of the opening of the museum. you had about 500 exhibits. now there are more than 1.700, how is the exhibition formed? this is only the work

of local masters or not, not only local ones. if we like it, for example, then there are or there are moments when people come visited our museum and wanted to, then they also send me a gift to give their exhibit . let's say the data is sent by everyone at the moment. we have a thousand, 700 eggs, even more already decorated in various techniques, but the central place or the main one is occupied by our sapozhkinskaya here we have like eggs, as we call them, you go and will not come out and and some of them are even more than 30 years old . and how if you pay attention to the stand next to it, it also has an egg of 2000, that is, at the moment he is 23 years old. if i see something in other places, let's say what i liked. uh, well, or i turned my attention, but i also usually buy such eggs there, uh, we replenish them at the expense of masters who

open exhibitions, like in grodno or somewhere else here. well, that is, easter where masters come from all over. well, let's say from all over the country, where you can see something new and interesting. we have an egg in that second hall from the serbs who came to our museum did not know that they would fall into such museum that it will be here, but still. they turned out to have a souvenir goose egg made by a dental drill . we also have many different interesting exhibits, but in order to arouse people's interest, because, well, this is a scribbler, but beautiful. we kind of have a dragon, e speck, these are other methods. yes, we have other methods, in principle, all the methods that are used by people. we used here to create our museum, all-all-all the techniques that we saw somewhere, we decided use and precisely collect such a collection in order to get here a person, well, he could make sure that, well,

an egg for easter can be decorated by any methods by any means, and it will be beautiful. if this is done, it will be done with the soul, of course, in the first place. you can’t sit down on a single egg and just write the same song, if you don’t put your own symbol in it, it won’t even work on it. you can sit down to draw, but let’s think of one thing. and when you sit down and do it you just write. it can turn out completely different; there are no two identical, they are all different, even if the same master draws . anyway, they are not alike. well, not always even our experienced craftsmen even manage to make our special paint, which we do. you should know it. at what time to collect what composition should the ratio? how can it turn out to be so beautiful, saturated, but also definite, because our eggs are painted black and red, although our traditional description is black and white or

black and yellow depending on what kind of egg we have at the base white or yellow a , starting tell us are there any regional peculiarities in applying patterns, but it is original, like, probably, what we mean is that first make a starting point. this dot is waxed on the face. and then, depending on which sand, that is, it will be thinner and thicker and from the master and then he displays the pattern, but basically this is the most traditional. it's like, like a chamomile, or like a flower, as if spring awakening is from here. each master repels from the main pattern. it all depends on the master’s hand and here is his sand, thin or thick, from here it will be and well, let’s say the picture stands out, because some people draw only with thick little pussies, then the picture on the egg comes out more thickened, and some, on the contrary, the thinnest the most a thin needle so that it is like an openwork.

please tell us about the biggest exhibits in your museum. well, the largest egg, probably the most - this is what we have done, when they gave us easter eggs for the holiday. this is a ceramic egg, which depicts, uh, our church. well, also a place of honor is occupied by ostrich eggs with the faces of saints and also churches. why? well, because in order to write them, the craftswoman, first of all , had to, uh, ask for the blessing of her confessor. other than that, it is written only lent, when they were written, they stood by the legislation. well, consider that they are, as it were, illuminated, that is. unique in that they are here with us an orthodox craftswoman herself, one of the faces is the mother of god of ostrobramskaya. it is found both among catholics and orthodox, and here it has such a starting point here in our museum , too.

chicken eggs, because they are mostly painted by our masters. most often, it was chicken giving easter eggs that was filled with meaning, made with the desire to bring, help and even enchant easter eggs, which they were given to small children in light colors ; boys and girls were given songs with solar symbols in the form of the sun or spirals made in bright colors. the hosts usually received easter eggs made of wedges in zigzags, and older people with belts in red tones, by the way, arguing about who owns the tradition. easter eggs, the locals completely exclude the division on confessional grounds . sapozhkin easter eggs in the first place, this is the property of the region and a real work of art. these are the traditions that are kept in grodno land. one of the ancient legends says, as long as people write songs in the world, balance is maintained. give each other

kindness, light and joy, and yulia burlo was with you and remember to be cultured alone , see you in a week before new cultural meetings. let's talk about how to be open to the world, no matter what, i'm always ready to pick up, but i always say. we can , we will, we want, because i'm very excited about really talented ideas, actually my main goal. uh, we're chasing if our citizen has an idea capable of commercialization. he must have all the possibilities in order to realize it, another way out. that's why we're

spinning. so what's more, here are many say the market. this is where the market needs to turn. but what is theater after all, energy exchange? and he is always alive, because people come, spectators come. and we give energy. you give us back, we have a cycle going on, and something happens we begin to think, breathe, live differently. uh, the sooner we teach our children to do good deeds from the island. yes they are correct mercy and help participation. uh, for those who need it, the healthier the generation grows up. say, don’t be silent, watch on belarus 24 tv channel
