Bridging tradition and modernity: Skopin ceramics at the Department Store of the National Centre RUSSIA
At the Department Store of the National Centre RUSSIA, visitors can explore unique pieces of Skopin ceramics. The store features products from a workshop based in the Ryazan region, which carefully preserves and reinterprets the traditions of a craft that dates back to 1640.
The official founding date of the production is considered to be March 1, 2023. The artisans work at the intersection of art and design, combining the aesthetics of the past with modern solutions. Special attention is given to preserving the classic patterns that form the basis of the new collections.
"We really wanted to develop our native craft in a contemporary way and decided to occupy an open niche — tableware. In our opinion, it is the most practical use of ceramics in everyday life," representatives of the workshop note.
The items are made from high-strength, high-temperature materials that have passed laboratory quality tests. Among other collections, the "Rondo" collection is showcased at the Department Store. It combines refinement and tradition. The milky color of the tableware adds elegance to any setting, while elements of traditional Skopin decoration highlight its historical depth. The "Rondo" collection is perfect for a cozy breakfast, a family lunch, or a festive dinner.
In Russian folk culture, wreaths hold special meaning, which is why many people decorate their homes with them in the run-up to the New Year.
The final volunteer appreciation ceremony was held on 26 December at the National Centre RUSSIA.
A series of pre-New Year creative workshops continues at the National Centre RUSSIA.
