A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered among the masters in the commercial one of the best. Her works were for export only.

Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, for me, is a result of having less a unified style, a sort of layering, which was the hallmark of the sort of art in Russia.
