Glad to be in Novlyankah again. Last year, there she saw grandmothers weaving on an old loom - golden hands. And who will go this year among our Yakhromskihs, tell me?

It’s good that they’re holding it in Novlyanka again. Last year I also stopped by after my shift and watched how they weave on the loom - those grandmothers really have hands of gold. From our Yakhroma family, mother will probably go again with her children; last year she said that she wanted to see the pottery.

It's good to be back in Novlyanki. Last year, I also went there after work, watched how those grandmothers wove on an old machine - truly golden hands. This time, I will probably go for myself, I want to take a closer look at the pottery.

Хорошо, что снова в Новлянках. В прошлом году после смены тоже заезжала, смотрела, как бабушки ткут на том старом станке — правда золотые руки. В этом году, наверное, и мы с детьми туда выберемся, хочется глиняную посуду посмотреть поближе.

Максим Зайцев

Yes, in Novlyanka it always turns out to be soulful. Last year, I also stopped by after work and watched how those grandmothers worked on the machine - indeed, every detail was checked, not hastily. Did your mother end up buying pottery or never decided?

Методи Атанасов

Yes, Marianna, I also remember those grandmothers with the loom - really skilled. This year, several women from the church music group, including my wife, will go from our Yahromski. Will you go again?

Сергій Лисенко

Yes, last year those grandmothers on the machine were really impressive, I watched it too. This time I plan to stop by on Saturday afternoon, maybe I'll try to make something out of clay myself. And when do you plan to go, after work?

Методи Костов

Mariana, I also remember how those grandmothers deftly wound the base of the loom without hurrying. This year there will also be a master woodcarver from Tula, they say he makes museum-like spoons. Are you going on Saturday or Sunday?

Степан Лисенко

Yes, those grandmothers at the machine impressed me too, especially how they kept the thread straight. I'm also thinking of dropping by on Saturday afternoon, because it's late on Friday after my shift. And what exactly do you want to sculpt from clay, a pot or something simpler?

Петро Мороз

Yes, those grandmothers at the machine got me too, especially how they worked calmly like that, without hurrying. After my shift on Friday night, I plan to drop in, because on Saturday morning we have football on the field. Will you sculpt a pot or just a bowl?

Максим Мельник

Yes, those grandmothers at the machine are really craftsmen, the thread in them runs like a ruler. I also plan to drop by after lunch on Saturday, because I'm late from work on Friday. And I want to try a simple bowl from clay, the pot is still difficult. What are you thinking of sculpting?

Дарина Савченко

Yes, those grandmothers at the machine got me too, especially how they worked calmly like that, without hurrying. I'm also planning to pop in on Friday night after a walk with my daughter. Are you still going to sculpt the pot or just watch how the bowls come out? 😊

Ольга Мельник

Yes, those grandmothers at the machine are something special, I also stood for a long time and watched them thread the thread. I want to try a small plate out of clay, because I already sculpted a bowl last year and it turned out crooked. What are you planning to sculpt yourself, something for the kitchen or just for a test?

Богдан Гончар

Yes, those grandmothers at the machine are really mesmerizing, I also stood for ten minutes and watched the thread lay flat. Last year, I sculpted a simple tea mug from clay, it turned out crooked, but I still use it at home. Do you want a plate for soup or just for beauty?

Леся Шевченко

Those grandmothers are really mesmerizing when they pull the string so leisurely. I also want to stop by on Friday after the bakery, maybe I'll at least try to mold a bowl, because I probably won't be able to master the pot in one go. And who do you play football with, the boys from Dmitrov?

Анна Бондаренко

Those grandmothers are really craftsmen, I also stayed near them, because the thread in them goes so smoothly, as if it lays down by itself. Last year, I sculpted a simple table salt shaker out of clay, it turned out crooked, but it took root in the kitchen. Do you want a plate for dumplings or just for tea with cookies?
