A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered one of many masters in the commercial one of the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My love for various kinds of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. However a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to visit an associate.
