Firebird Russian Arts – Where did it go?

Love - Russian style


To anyone who might find themselves here rather unexpectedly, having typed in www.firebirdarts.co.uk:

My website of Russian lacquer miniatures is no more. Twenty amazing years of visiting Russia and selling traditional art, through exhibitions, a gallery in Bath, and in recent years through the website, have come to an end. Russia was great – I made 59 visits, and grew a deep love for its people and its culture. But the picture was never going to stand still. Russia has certainly changed since that momentous post-Soviet era, and I have too! I feel that I’ve distilled the experience of Russia through my book The Soul of Russia (also published as Russian Magic), and that the privilege of delivering three lectures to the Temenos Academy in London in 2011 has rounded off the experience. So I’m in from the field, and am focusing now on my work as a writer and a tutor. Thanks Russia! And thanks to everyone who visited Firebird either on line, or in person, during the years since 1992.

I may drop in a blog about Russian culture from time to time. If you’d like that, why not let me know? Here – via Twitter – or by email. What shall we have? Nature spirits – the art of making toasts – or the magical Russian fairy tale? Let me know your preferences!

Hello Cherry,

I'm sorry to discover that you've ended this, but totally understand your reasons - all good things come to an end. I'm still very envious of the relationship you built with the villages and still hope to visit at least one of them one day. Are you keeping your remaining boxes?
I shall visit your site now and then to see what you're up to,
Best Regards, John Webber.

Fully agree with you, John. It is a great pity. Nature spirits – the art of making toasts – and the magical Russian fairy tale all together make all the works of Cherry real masterpieces. Thank you for your approach.

Good to see you use such tools and definitely it will take time to learn and incorporate in your system.

Your attempt to put a Russian blog is highly appreciated. Being a person who has visited Russia such a long time and familiar with most of the Russian arts is the best person to talk about Russia. Waiting for your new stories.

It's the best time to make some plans for the future and it's time to be happy. I've read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you few interesting things or advice. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I want to read even more things about it!
