Master class – Floristry of Yasnaya Polyana or how to become a designer of samovars

During the master class, you will find out what traditional forms of samovars exist (all of them are represented in our museum). Then you will choose the samovar-base of the form that you liked most, come up with your own author’s decor and create a design panel in the form of a samovar. You will use dried flowers and herbs collected in the vicinity of Grumant and Yasnaya Polyana to decorate your panel.

Near the museum you will find a unique playground with samovars (enlarged copies of the exhibits presented in the museum), as well as a teapot, cups, and spoons. Every child that visits the playground enters a fairy tale about a real Russian tea party … And in the evening a projection show decorates samovars with floral ornaments and patterns. It was this show that inspired us to create a floristic master class, in which everyone can act as a designer of a unique samovar.
