This master class can be incorporated into almost any tour program. Tour duration is about 3 hrs, but it can be more or less depending on how much time you have (but recommended minimum time is 2-3 hrs). This activity is good both for kids and their parents who like to paint and have fun with their children! Those who are not engaged in the process, can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee with something delicious!

We recommend to schedule the tour for the first half of the day, because when you're finished with dolls, it's best to let them dry. Towards the end of the day, families usually pick up their creations. If you have several days in the city, you can pick dolls up next morning. Of course, you can take them with you right away, but it's recommneded to let them dry (after that they will be varnished).

The tour cost includes a professional artist's time for 3 hrs, blank matryoshka doll (one per person, you can choose the size), acryllic paints (a great variety of colors!), brushes, aprons, decorations and all other necessary items for the class! Please note that guide services are NOT included in the tour cost neither is transportation. 

If you'd like to have this activity as a separate one, we recommend to have a private guide with you to make the process of interpreting better. We can offer you a private guide to pick you up from your hotel, deliver you to the master class location, assist during the painting class and deliver you back to the hotel (or another location) at a flat rate of 70 USD per group only! (if you'd like this service, please let us know at the time of booking).

The matryoshka painting master class is a perfect break during the sightseeing day to keep your kids entertained! It is a good way to explore Russian traditions and learn how to create a truly unuqie Russian Matryoshka doll, which will be your handmade memorable present from Russia!
