What to bring from Vyksa
A Borodachevsk toy
Unique local craft – a Borodachevsk toy is reborn in Vyksa. These are painted wooden toys manufactured by the original technology of the last century. The technology was developed in the late XIX century by artist Elizabeth Vasilievna Kikina-Borodacheva (1868-1935). She made wooden dolls and caskets decorating them with carving, burning, oil, watercolor and tempera painting, inlay and varnishing. Today, Tatiana Ganina, a craftswoman of Vyksa, is involved in the revival of the decorative arts. Borodachevsk toy can be seen and bought at the manor-industrial complex Batashevs-Shepelevs and in hotel "Batashev".
