The deeply rooted Northern Russian folk craft traditions communicate a feeling of proximity to nature. Boundless fields and forests, rivers and seas find reflection in colour and material – in amazingly beautiful works made of wood, birch-bark, fur, leather, tissue and bone that all contain a part of northern nature.
